The new Canon 50 1.2 L with the claim of a fast focus motor, makes one think of another giant piece of glass.
Few have them, but the the 50mm 1.0, either is a prestigious paper weight or a work of art! It's plane of focus wide open is razer thin and its motor is agedly slow. however, some enthusiasts still treasure it as the fastest lens on earth.
Canon had a 50mm 1.2 lens in their pre-Eos days and this was well regarded. I'm saving for the new lens.
For me it could be the ultimate civilized lens for availible light photography, indoors and out, day and night!
I also hope to use it for portraits as it should provide a wonderful Bokeh and allow focus in the dimmest light.
That and a hood on a 1DII and a white piece of board and small reflector may be the best mobile portrait set up ever!
