Is this lens still on the market? I heard that this lens was discontinued last year, is it true?

[WingLee]

Still available. I ask Canon sales last month.

extreme heavy and expensive, and not the best qualiy !
be smart , why must be this one??

Discontinued~ EF50mm f1.0L, not 85mm f/1.2 L , sure still available.

個人感覺:

如果與共 85/1.8 比, 是以四倍的價錢, 去提高25%~50%的效果.

To 老叟.

Not the best quality???? Which is the best....... in image quality. not consider the cost.

best quality~ agree with : 如果與共 85/1.8 比, 是以四倍的價錢, 去提高25%~50%的效果,
but I feel compare with 85/1.8 效果提高25%only .

Take a look on the following hyperlink:

Frankly speaking, EF85 f/1.2L USM is the propaganda for showing off the leading optical production from Canon. It's just no big deal in term of optical quality.
