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.

I have loved and coveted this lens since I learned about it some years back. Canon got it right when they first introduced this piece to their L series line up. Tack sharp, the CREAMIEST bokeh and amazing quality images are what you'll find with the 50mm f1.2. UNPARALLELED. Worth every penny.

Love this lens, I have wanted it for a long time, it doesn't seem any heavier than the 1.4 either so I was glad about that. Its somewhat noisy and if I could have afforded the 85 1.2 I would have but this is a must for my bag with clients.
