Pros: f/1.2, great build, great bokeh, great colours
Cons: Cost, slow AF
The best known portrait lens with razor thin DOF available at f/1.2.
Superb build and stunning sharpness and bokeh - colours are excellent.
It isn't a lens for sport or action photography but excels at what it was designed for - portraits. Once used you won't get rid of it.
Only negative is the price
