Just got this amazing lens. Quite a learning curve. First shots done. I think I need to practise more on the focus.

That just shows how shallow DOF is at f/1.2. It really makes a difference where you pick your focus point.

Just got my EF25 II Extension Tube today to see what it could do hooked up to my various lenses. I found the 85L the most compelling due to its creamy bokeh and the tube shortens its long MFD. To me its not "count the bugs hairs" macro but nice...

yeah those are really nice... this lens is known for "painting" the background in watercolor, but the ext tube amplifies it a lot as the backgrounds fade in into blurry abyss. The second photo looks like a painting!
