Can I ask why go as fast as 1/5000th?
Cause you had yo use iso 800...

You could also use a lower iso number... did you really needed to go 1/5000th?

I generally like to shoot at ISO 800 with indoor available ambient light so as to keep the shutter speed fast enough to hand hold and I'm not usually at f/1.2 but most of the time at f2.8 or higher, just wanted to test the dof at mfd here is all.

f/1.2 1/60 iso 320, no pp

I had a pretty cool shoot yesterday with my buddy, Charles.

Finally decided to buy one.
I invited a couple of models to my house and took this lens for a test drive.
Here's one taken wide open:

Chris, I've taken a few test shots with the 50L and my lens was focusing at high f-stops towards the bottom of the frame (I believe that's backfocusing).

The primary reason I sent my 7D in for was calibration due to it having some focusing issues in low light.

I sent my 50L in as well because if you want to properly do microadjustments in camera you have to send in both the lens and the camera together. As I understand it though, people can perform this action quite easily on their own. I just figured since I was already sending the camera in for calibration I could kill two birds with one stone.

As an update, I just heard back from Canon and there was in fact an issue with my AF system which was fixed by Canon. The 50mm 1.2 however was found to not require any adjustments.

I'll take some test shots when I get my camera back and see how it performs! I'm excited! If I begin to obtain the results that some of our other members have achieved after having sent their gear into Canon for a solution I think I'll be on the right track!

Haven't posted here for a while
So here sre a couple from a recent trip to Bali

Had some fun with the family at the pumpkin patch. Snapped the little guy at f/1.8, and the wife snapped me at f/2.8.

I just bought this lens used today (2007 model). I've been very nervous that it was too blurry at the high apertures. But I must admit that it is a fantastic lens. All three pictures which I have taken all of Aperture 1.2 and natual light
