The EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM is a fantastic lens by all accounts. I have access to the EF 50 f/1.2 L USM at work, so I've never made the $2,000 investment in the 85.


For half the price, you might consider the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM. I change composition a lot when shooting portraits and primesjust don't suit me very well.


I think you'll be very happy with either choice. They are both awesome.
