Excellent lens. Should be in very bag.

Re: Excellent lens. Should be in very bag.

I agree with it. I recently move to Canon and was quite surprised how good that 85/1.8 is. I think I like it better than even the Nikon 85/1.4G I had.

As for the 85/1.2, it obviously provides more subject isolation (to the point that the subject sometimes looks unnaturally separated from the rest of the scene) but the bokeh of that lens does not overly impress me. Most folks rave about the bokeh but they really mean subject isolation. If you have some highlights just behind the subject plane, they will look harsh.
