I have this goal for some months now and it is true that it is particularly expensive, I can tell you that I sold all my camera gear for the purchase of such fixed focal dream. I have kept my Canon 5D Mark II with which the 85 mm F1.2 wonders. I've read reviews where it was written that even if one is not a great photographer, one becomes with that focus, I found it amusing but it is clear that this is not true. Over the years, I began to specialize in portraits and it is natural that I was interested in 85mm F1.2. Well I assure that it is a killer. The bokeh is supernatural, the autofocus accuracy is impressive but it must be very careful to large openings (A millimeter gap and the subject is blurred, it forgives not) and then dive (even at full aperture) is monstrous. For cons, because there are, of course, it is very heavy with 1.2 kg he seems (but at the same time it makes sense given the size of the lens and it is the "L "So it's tough) it is expensive (but well worth it if you can afford it) and it is very specific (but we know it when we buy it, we will not make a Focal for architecture). Before I had two boxes (APS-C and FF) and four goals. But that was before !!!! Frankly, if you are bitten portrait and you do not find your account with the hardware you currently have and if you have a little ways (Even if we make one or two sacrifices), FONCEEEZZZZZZZ, you will not be disappointed !!!! Regardless of what the critics of this focal length, it is happiness.
