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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    After doing all my research, I decided this lense was just what I wanted for single and family portraits. So far the lens has performed as I had hoped.

    This lens is a must in your camera bag. I use this along with a 70-200mm and 85 1.2. I have tried to use my 50mm 1.8 but it is not near the quality of the 1.2

    Nice lens, at a good price, and it is sharp. I am extremely happy that I bought it. I strongly advise new photographers to get one as soon as you can. Better still, rent one before you buy and try it out. You won't regret it. Thank you Canon and Best buy.

    The lens is made alot nicer than the other versions, and the photo quality does not compare to the 1.4 or 1.8. This is the best investment I have made!
