Few lenses are.


I've never owned the 50 f/1.2, but looking at Bryan's ISO crops, it doesn't look any better. The 50 f/1.2 is definitely about bokeh, not sharpness. It is intentionally corrected to be blurry.


It does seem that there is a place in canon's lineup for a higher end 50mm lens than the f/1.4 but with more general appeal than the 50 f/1.2.
