Cons: High chromatic aberration. Not very sharp. Strange bokeh at some geometries.
Pros: Very beautiful bokeh under most conditions. Nice colors. Build quality. AF is accurate and fast enough for purpose of this objective, however this is not an action glass. Huge aperture. Feeling.
Summary: Nice objective for feeling photography, but unfortunately not as perfect optical performance as I expected at this price level. If you know that you want it, buy it, but if you have to ask, consider some cheaper alternatives.

Cons: None
Pros: Sharpness, colour and contrast, bokeh, Build, AF accuracy and speed, results
Summary: Since I purchased it, the 50L has become my 'go to' lens. It's always on one of my camera bodies. I was surprised at the responsiveness and accuracy of the AF, having read so many negative reviews. The 50L is a big leap up from my 50 f1.4, which I keep but use much less. The results from the 50L are exceptional, especially if you're shooting into the sun. This is my favourite Canon lens.

Cons: Indescrete. Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG is almost as good.
Pros: Very sharp. Colours.
Summary: It's funny how the reviews for EF 35mm f/1.4L and EF50mm f/1.2L differ. The MTF50 charts for the image resolution shows 50L is as sharp in the edges and much sharper than 35L in the centre, but in 35L review it gets praised for it's sharpness while in 50L review, the image quality is weak.
