Here’s the thing about that Canon f/1.8 85mm - wide open it’s *extremely* hard to use. Stop it down a bit and it’s medium-format sharp.
The 1.2 is a lovely lens, but about five times the price. Was thinking of buying the 1.8. Bad idea?

not used the 1.8; 1.2 is *brilliant* stopped down, really really really good, but focussing is a nightmare f/1.2, plus lots purple fringing

But you were just tweeting about the 1.8????

ah what did I say? I mean f/1.2.

Blithering fool. Yes, the 1.2 is very hard to focus with. I've lots of slightly blurry portraits and some real crackers.
