While this lens is a little pricey it offers extremely sharp pictures with excellent depth of field. I bought it to take landscape pictures; my wife uses it for close up portrait. It works well for both.

Comments about CANON EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Standard Lens:

Combined with a late model Canon body (high pixels & ISO with little degradation), pictures are captured crisply in dimly lit night club or evening street scenes. It's size/weight rules out the candid photography of, say, having a Leica slung under your sport coat. And, it is relatively slow to focus. Yet, of the 10 Canon lenses I own, if I could only take one on vacation, this is it.
