Re: 85 f/1.2L II is a DREAM COME TRUE!

For 85mm L , this is tricky lens to focus at wide open. I happened to watch on creativelive that Brett Loren uses Continous Focus (on his Nikon) when shooting wide open. Even you have strong hand, but the DOF is very shallow at wide open and a slight movement with throw thing out of focus.

I have tried 85mm L II from a friend and i agree this lens is excellent for shooting portrait, especially in studio and on location.

Love to get 85mm L II but i must save for 70-200mm L II first since i shoot event all the time and zoom lens gives me the flexibility.
