got my 85 1.2L

Hey, maybe its not exactly true, as I am just getting this lens back from canon service. This is my first shots with this gem as I dropped this baby before I could fire off 1 shot when I was trying to mount this 100 pound lens.

WHOA, is this lens heavy. forgot in the week canon had this baby. I find this lens fast to focus. I dont know why people say this lens is slow to focus. Maybe its that I have a 1D series camera?

Well enough anal cranial dysentery from me and feast yor eyes on this creamy buttery bokeh goodness. first shot is @ 1.6, second is 1.2 WOW WOW WOW.

Wow...the bokeh is amazing. Geats shots. Maybe I should sell my car...I could just get a bus pass or something...

AYE CARUMBA!! Very sweet, Dante. Congrats. I'm glad your baby got home safe.

Alright Dante!! I agree about the AF speed.......I think many people expect it to be lightning fast but it is not turtle-slow either! Nice shots and have fun with it........for portraits there is none better!!!

Thanks guys, I was out fixing up the diner when I got word that this baby got back in to my local shop. Went down to get it and shoot some. LCD does not do this lens justice! In fact looking at the previews I was thinking, "so this is a 1500$ member of the trinity? BAH!" Well, I loaded the pics on the computer and, well... I wept. Beautiful. I am truely complete.

well, maybe except for the 24mm 1.4L . Then I can stop. Really. Seriously, this lens is awesome and I could not be happier with its focusing and finish. just wish it did not weigh 5 pounds!

May I ask, why not the 24-70L?

Great news that you have your lens back, Dante! It looks great.

How is the restaurant repair coming along? Do you have any idea when you can re-open?

Wow your son sure aged quickly! Good thing you got it back, why was it so fast? you pay extra or somethin?

Good to hear your baby is safe in your hands. Have fun with it

Because he's already got the Tamron 28-75

REJOICE!!!!!

You can now enter bokeh heaven!!!



That 2nd shot is a WOW!!! FULL-FRAME + this lens = NIRVANA!!!

Great news, Dante.

Hopefully, the news on the cleanup front is just as positive.

Nice looking photos, my friend

Nice lens! Nice pictures too! Wow!

You are indeed complete - though I would consider trading my 24/1.4 for your 85/1.2.

Actually, I'm kidding. But I am certainly glad to see that you got the 85 back. It is on my short list. I hope that you get the diner straightened out after the flood. Your disposition on life is much better than mine - I'd have killed somebody with a cast iron skillet by now just to relieve tension.
