Using my Canon 50mm lens to get action shots at my son's volleyball game I noticed that, while it's a prime, it's not an L so wanted to see what the best 1990's L Canon lens was for 50mm and Ken pointed out that, depending on your needs the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II might be better. Okay I may need to buy one of these lenses just because of this description from #KenRockwell; https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/85mm-f12.htm "AF speed is slow, slower than the 85mm f/1.8. This f/1.2L II version is much faster than the first 1989 f/1.2L version. Canon says this new version is 1.8x faster than the original f/1.2, but it's still slower than the f/1.8 I tried. This is because the system needs to be much more precise than other lenses to ensure accurate focus at f/1.2. Depth of field at f/1.2 is a few inches (5 cm) at one hundred feet (30m), so extreme AF accuracy is required to make real use of the f/1.2 aperture. " FIVE CM AT 30 M?!!?! That's...... Amazing! Impossible to use in the real world but imagine the bokeh!!! #Photography
