I have owned the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II before. I was never happy with that lens, and I never felt like it was sharp wide open. Furthermore, f/1.2 rarely gave me enough DOF. I quickly sold that lens. I recently purchased this for under $200. It is razor sharp, and it is about as good as $200 can buy you. I use this primarily on my 1DX Mark III, it will also go on any of my other bodies very nicely. I have shot my last few events with this and the 200mm f/2.8L II (another 5 star lens), and they have been on my body far more often than the 70-200mm. For the price, it absolutely deserves 5 stars.
The newer is even better and with IS.
I don't think there is an 85mm f/1.8 IS, is there?
Yes you are correct, but they have the newer 85mm F1.4 IS which is better.
