Customers are saying

Customers value the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Medium Telephoto Lens for its exceptional image quality and beautiful bokeh, creating stunningly sharp images with smoothly blurred backgrounds, ideal for portraits. However, some find the lens heavy and the focus ring somewhat loose, requiring careful handling. The high price point is also a factor for some potential buyers.

    This lens is so amazing! I’m a beginner, but still able to get really amazing shots with this lens. I can’t wait to keep using it and really learning more. It is pretty heavy, but to me that just says quality!

    I love my 85 and refer to it as my 2k lens... it helps me achieve stunning portraits and I love having it in my bag. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is kind of heavy and does have slow focusing every now and then.

    Great Bulr but the lens has some back-front focusing issues. I have a it on a Canon 5D and sometimes pictures are totally out of focus. My Canon 28-70 or 17-40 never had this kind of problem...Any suggestion? I have a few examles at www.usafromabove.com Furthermore, it is a heavy lens!!! :):):)
