Customers are saying
Customers find value in the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Standard Lens's exceptional image quality, dreamy bokeh, and impressive low-light performance, frequently praising its ability to achieve a shallow depth of field and produce sharp, clear images. However, some customers note that the autofocus can be slow, and the high price point may be a deterrent for some buyers. The lens's weight is a point of contention, with some finding it substantial while others appreciate its manageable size.

Fantastic Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great glass, great depth of field with the f/1.2. Yields fantastic images. Only con would be it takes slightly longer to focus than other lenses, though that time is forgivable.

Love this Lens! Not for beginners!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens, so crisp. A little slow to focus, but worth it. Must have knowledge in back button focus - or you'll probably struggle with this one.

Excellent Lens!

Perfect in every way!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased three of these lenses over the years and each time I sell one and replace it, I have no regrets. Now I know you are asking why I sell my prior lenses and they just get so used and banged up I just want new ones. I just love this lens. Yes, I have many other 50mm but I always try to use this one more since it just takes GREAT photos with my my 1DX MkII. Spend the extra and get this lens, you'll thank me later!
