Re: Canon 85mm 1.2 L ii or Canon 85mm 1.4L

After using the 85mm f1.2 II for a couple of events this summer, the f1.4 version is beginning to make more sense to me. The softness and purple fringe wide open at f1.2 made stop down to f1.4 anyway. Also the fraction of a second it took to focus even on the 1DX made me lose shots of a few good reactions.
