Hi Felix, I've rented one, and an EF 85 1.2 L and once was enough for me for both of these lenses. This is a very sharp lens if stopped down two or three stops. It's big and heavy, not a big deal actually IF it offered some advantage to the shooting situation, but it's so slow focusing that I missed a lot of shots (that could easily been captured with the EF 50 1.4), I wanted and due to the very, very shallow DOF when used wide open there is ZERO room for error. This can be a problem if you are trying to shoot a model that is moving around. The EF 85 1.2 L has all of the same problems and image quality of the EF 50 1 L. I can't believe that Canon thought they could actually sell many of these given the painfully slow AF performance and cost but they ARE both very sharp lenses if used under just the right conditions.
