Unmatched light gathering capability. Extremely sharp from f/2 onward. Capable of creating a very shallow depth of field.
The editors didn't like
Expensive. Large and heavy. A little soft at maximum aperture. Noticeable distortion
Abstract: The Canon EF 50mm f1.2L USM is currently Canon's fastest lens (along with the 85/1.2L USM). It replaced the older f1.0 lens several years ago. Though not quite as fast, it's both cheaper and sharper and so the change was overall a positive one. Can...
There’s no doubt that the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM, $1499 (review) is Canon’s best 50mm lens and an excellent performer by any standard. The fast aperture is ideal for work in low light, where focus is fast and positive. As a portrait lens, the fast a...
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 USM L left rather mixed feelings here at Photozone. It was able to convince in the APS-C scope but on a full format DSLR its weaknesses became much more obvious. The good news is that the center resolution is generally fine acr...
Abstract: This Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens (about $1,600) is the sharpest 50mm lens Ive ever used at very wide apertures, but Ive not used any other aspherical 50mm lens. It easily outperforms the conventional Zeiss 50mm f/1.4. This 50mm f/1.2L is the smaller brot...

Abstract: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens review is coming. In the mean time, here are some thoughts on this lens ... For many years, a fixed focal length 50mm lens was standard for film SLRs. Although 50mm lenses are not nearly as popular as they used to b...
Abstract: Canon EF 70-200/4L IS USM The Canon EF 70-200/4L IS USM is a lens that many people have been asking for. The current non-IS version is widely regarded as one of the best lenses in the Canon lineup and its popularity is in at least part due to the...
Abstract: Roughly two-and-a-half years ago Canon replaced the legendary EF 50mm f/1.0L USM with the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM. While its predecessor was the fastest (and one of the most expensive) mass-production lens ever made, by sacrificing two thirds of a stop, Can...
Bords toujours en retrait du centre, Performance moyenne
Ses performances sont très en dessous de ce que proposent d’autres optiques trois fois moins chères. Un vrai problème pour cette série "L", victime d’aberrations chromatiques vraiment importantes et potentiellement gênantes. Il se comporte toutefois bi...
