Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM

Tried a different edit on this one. I like this a lot better... Any opinions?

Tim, did you upgrade from the 1.4 to the 1.2?

I wish. I borrowed a friend's. I really like the contrast and bokeh of this lens. I do wish the AF was as quick and accurate as my 35L!

Autofocus seems pretty quick to me. Maybe a hair slower then other lenses I have but much more accurate then the 50 1.4.

Trying to work on my color style for street photography

I guess it's all relative. You're right, It's much more accurate than my 50 1.4. I photograph lots of fast-moving kids, so I guess I'm just used to the precision of my 35L and 135L. The 50L is definitely much faster than the 85LII.

I shoot a lot of kids too and I am still getting my feet wet with the 50L. I find like the 100L if your not going from something really close to far the autofocus is fast enough. I tried the 35L and its a sweet lens but not sure its a focal length I would want in a prime.

Got my 50 1.2 today

I took a lot of rubbish with it as you do when you first get a lens but I got to say I thought I would give it some stick and try out a different focusing points and modes at F1.2 and it seems to handle most situations really well.

It will take a while yet and a couple of weddings before I really get to know it but I thought I would post one of the first few images that I got today of my little lad messing around in a Christmas Store, I just love the colours and shape of the bokeh.

Great work Will! I think you use the 50L to great effect.

I really like the way it renders an image - unlike any other Canon lens. I played with a friend's 50L a few weeks ago and now I think I must have my own copy.

^Thanks so much! Good luck with getting one of your own!

wide open natual light.. to much light in the background.. but want to show the sharpness at 1.2..
