Heavy but astonishing

I bought this lens for portraiture and the quality is astonishing. The lens itself is fairly heavy but there's quite a bit of glass involved. I see a lot of chromatic aberration when shooting high contrast subjects. Although editing software usually does a decent job of removing it, it can sometimes be an issue when a subject is in business attire with a white shirt. Regardless, the depth of field is razor sharp and I recommend taking at least a few shots per pose to ensure that you get the eyes in focus. Speaking of focus, it's slow. This is not a lens for fast-paced action. It wants you to take your time.

If you can pony up the cash...

This is the lens of lenses. At least in the short tele range. This lens is a professional lens in every way. It is often used for portraits, but it is not limited there. The construction os the lens is superb. 'L' class all the way. It is a massive lense for one so small; it has more than a pound and a half of glass in there. It focuses precisely, and reasonably quick for that much glass. I would recommend that it be used at f/1.2 with the newer cameras that have microfocusing, like the 50D, and newer. The depth of field is so narrow that you can't tell if it is focused exactly through the viewfinder, even zoomed in a good way on the preview screen. In this case I rely on the camera's autofocus. This is a fantastic lens for low light or indoor shots. Event photography would be great, like concerts, or night club scenes. Pros: Color saturation, build, image quality, no distortion, pretty much everything except for: Cons: cost. This is not cheap.

Excellent portrait lens, tack sharp wide even wide

What to say about this lens! Excellent, outstanding bokeh and tack sharp even at wide open. It's even better with R system with excellent eye tracking. It produces excellent portraits no matter what your subject and what the background is. Simply set it to eye AF and set f1.2 or 1.4 and the lens do the magic for you. Highly recommend.
