Typical of Canon products, well made and precise. Focus hits well even at 1.4 and close range. Quick also. The IS in testing does indeed help. As cameras continue to add megapixels this should help as any little shake is more noticeable. The 77mm filter is also a common size which is helpful. Some say it lacks the "magic" of the 1.2. I only see that in portraits taken from a further distance where the 1.2 is smoother. Using both I'd say you'll get more keepers with this, but on "some" shots the 1.2 just has that it factor. Also if sharpness matters this is the one compared to the 1.2. With that said...., Becareful in portraits where too much sharpness can be had (Sigma, Ziess). It really depends on the subject, texture, makeup etc. So its hard to compare exactly having shot with the Sigma it does have a sharpness edge, but I don't shoot architecture so that didn't put it over the top. Because if the Sigma is a 10 on sharpness this is a 9. The 1.2 is a 7-7.5. (it's not too soft, its just not as sharp) Though, again sharpness can be overated in certain scenarios. Update after a few months: I'm still a fan. It's still quiet and fast and provides enough keepers even at 1.4-1.6. The look is close to the 1.2 but not quite the same. But I'd still choose this because only those that have shot both might be the only ones to be able to see the difference. It's not the sharpest but it's sharp enough. There is some fringing depending on the backlighting so be aware of that if you're shooting that way. It's not terrible but it's a bit more than I'd hoped. The IS is the real deal, maybe the most effective IS on any lens I've used. Though that could partly be because IS on an 85 has less to deal with than IS on say a 200. Looking forward to how this continues to render as cameras seem to keep increasing the MP count. If I had a 1.2 I wouldn't upgrade unless you need the speed, because the fringing upgrades and sharpness aren't probably worth it. The reason to upgrade would be the keeper rate if you shoot quickly and are missing with the 1.2 AF. If I had a choice to buy either I would buy this. The 1.2 while somewhat magical in it's rendering (if one can work it properly) has optics that are aging and I'd worry about that as newer cameras may demand more recent glass. Not that some old lenses are still usable, but the 1.2 maybe not be one of them since it's already a bit finicky on todays cameras. But if you don't mind the extra work the 1.2 is a legend.

I absolutely love this lens! It gives a nice blurry background for portrait photography. Great quality and worth every penny. You need this lens in your everyday work day.

I just received this product a couple of days ago, but I went out and had to take some pictures! I LOVE this lens. It was so easy to use and I’m sure I will get many years of enjoyment out of this one. The lens is a bit heavy, but that’s fine. It takes incredible photos! Love, Love, Love it!! I would highly recommend. I’m not a professional. Photographer, but this lens is so good, you wouldn’t know. If is perfect for my needs!

One of if not my favorite lens that I've owned to this day, especially for portraits, B roll, and things like that. It focuses so smooth, it's auto-focus is incredibly accurate and fast. Pictures are so sharp.

I really wanted not to like this lens. I wanted to find something I couldn't live with, an excuse not to commit my head-earned money to this big hunk of a lens. But I couldn't. Every once in a while, you come across a lens that's so magical, that produces images that are just unlike most of what you've seen, that you can't not love it. That's this lens. Yes, it's heavy. Yes, it's thick. Yes, it can get uncomfortable to hold fairly quickly. But the sharpness, the bokeh, the image stabilization, the quality of the lens itself, and then the images! OMG. I handle it with the utmost care and respect because, well, that's exactly what it deserves. If I ever sell my Canon gear, I have no doubt that this lens will be the last to go. I suspect I will die with it in my collection. It's a beautiful lens.

Love this lens! Such great quality of photos produced and it is quite big but worth it. Used for family and engagement photos.

After owing and shooting with Canon 85L 1.2 and 135L, the new 85IS is a step above. The overall rendering and bokeh closely match those of 1.2 lens but the sharpness, colors, AF, fringing, and microcontrast straight from f1.4 are much improved. This is especially noticeable if you like to place your subjects off center. IS is one of the most effective implementations I’ve seen. Easily full 4 stops can be achieved. More importantly, IS is optimized for video including panning, I can easily achieve tripos like reaults with this lens on my 5div, this is even better than 35IS (shorter FL!). I highly recommend this lens for hybrid shooters - photo/video. For strictly stills, if you buy used, 85 1.2 can be found quite a bit cheaper and will give you very simar results. Otherwise, without a shadow of the doubt, Canon 85IS is the new king of portrait lenses sucessfully overthrowning 85 1.2 which I beleive will be discountinued.
