    Waited way too long to purchase this lens. I no longer have to carry multiple lenses as this one does the trick. Sharp, great in low light. Feels nice and sturdy in your hands. I'm not bothered by weight as I own several heavy lenses and find this one to be easier to carry than my 70-200 F2.8.

    Canon L class lens always have that crystal image and this lens is not the exception. The F/1.2 stop is incredible I really recommended for somebody who wanted to excel their portrait photography.

    Fastest lens I own and takes ridiculously amazing stills so long as you're competent at focusing. A lens this fast has a razor thin depth of focus so you're going to need to be very careful shooting with it. This lens is not for the fainthearted but it's undoubtedly the best portrait lens Canon offers (but remember it's not a hobbyists' lens)

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    One of the best portrait lenses for full frame cameras out there. It’s a niche lens that some people may not prefer over 70-200 2.8, but I am in love with the results.
