My 85mm f/1.2 L lens came today. It's a glorious beast of a lens. I was able to get sharp shots after a few shots. It's not as heavy as I thought. It feels lighter than my 24-70mm. Can anyone here with the lens offer any shooting tips for this lens?

I don't have the lens, but there's a general rule around here that's been put up by Sean:
RULE#1: always take photos of beautiful girls
Live by that rule and you'll be just fine and we'll love your photos even if they are technically absolutely incorrect [:P]
Have fun with your lens mate [;)]
Congrats! It's a great lens - I'm certainly enjoying mine.
Only tip I'd offer, if you're not already doing so, is to manually select your AF point. At wide apertures (thin DoF), focus/recompose will give you OOF shots.
Hapy shooting!
