Wonderful Lens!
This lens takes beautiful pictures with amazing bokeh. I haven't noticed any of the focusing issues so far; will update if I do. I use it for child portraiture

As close to an ideal prime as it gets.
Sharp, with quiet focusing, and all the expectations met.
Thanks, Canon.
Solid, fast, incredible build quality.
I now own 4 "L" lenses (see below). This Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens is so fast, quiet, and just feels great. The quality of the images I've taken is fantastic. At 1.2 you need to focus carefully as there is virtually no depth of field. On my 40D with a 1.6 multiplication factor this lens has a 35mm equivalent of 80mm which makes it great for head and shoulder shots. I think of this lens as a telephoto (because of the multiplication factor). Highly recommended.
