Overview
Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of the original EF 85mm f/1.2L USM, this new medium telephoto lens uses a Ring-type USM, high-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed approximately 1.8x faster than the original. The high-speed AF and circular aperture create a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings. The floating optical system, which includes an aspherical lens element, suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance.
My wonderful husband ordered this lens for me for Christmas but thanks to the weather we had over the holidays UPS was not able to deliver it. Turns out that even though it was originally scheduled to be delivered Christmas Eve they will not be delivering it until Monday. I really expected to see it yesterday but for reasons that don't make sense to me but doesn't help to argue with it is locked safe and sound in the Tualitan distribution center unable to be delivered today even though there are trucks on the road and delivering packages - I am trying to be patient but I can't wait to experiment with it. It is suppose to be a great portrait lens with really good background blur or "bokah". Did I say how excited I am to start experimenting with it?

Aw, I know how you feel. My dad's Christmas present must be spending a few nights with your camera in Tualatin :(
