The Canon EF 85 f/1.2L II is
an absolutely amazing lens. Do not get me wrong, it definitely has its faults (snail slow AF, price, weight), but for what I mainly shoot (portraits), this lens is absolutely stunning. f/1.2 is sharp, and then it gets ridiculously so at 1.8 and above.
Just wanted to give a quick opinion here in case someone is considering it. You can see my lenses in my sig, and I love them all. The 85 is a niche focal length, but for when I do get to use it, it's a stunning piece of glass.
I still believe that Canon's 85 f/1.8 is their best "bang for the buck" lens, if you happen to like to take portraits. But this lens is on another level all together.
