I'm really glad I found this review. I like the way you have info in text format in the video and you show examples of what the lens can do instead of some other review where you only see some guy going on and on and on about the lens without showing what really matters.
I'm new to photography, but the price of the 1.2 compared to the 1.8 doesn't win the race by much. Personally, the 1.2 wins the race by a fraction of a second. If I'm going to shell out $1500 to $2000 thousand dollars, it has to perform little better than that. I reckon that red ring makes people want it.
I have both lenses. The f/1.2 is for bragging rights! I use the smaller and lighter f/1.8 90% of the time. I just shot a kids birthday party indoors and I can say that I can live with the smaller f/1.8 lens...period. I also use it on head-shots, portraits and during my leisure times when I'm travelling. I also shoot it at special events like weddings and etc. with ease. Now, the bigger, heavier and bulkier f/1.2. IF you need that f/1.2 and never stop it down and leave it at f/1.2 for life then get it. It has a special place and time for it. I often find it useless unless I'm in a situation where it's very low light and subject seldom move and when I want that "Special" look, which the f/1.2 delivers. I use a Canon 1DX and somehow I find the auto focus is a little bit faster compared to a 5D MKIII. When all said and done, I rather use the smaller f/1.8 brother. I may sell the f/1.2 and get another lens.
Robert Estiandan Thanks for the heads up. I wondered if the 85mm 1.8 was a keeper or not? Or if you should buy a 1.2 if you already have a 1.8? Thanks!
Drac03 At 1.2...critical focus must be made or bust. 99% of the time I use live mode and magnify for fine tuning with manual focus. I actually sold the 1.2 and grabbed the Zeiss Milvus...THE BEST!!!! Bokeh rendering is better than the Otus! Sharpness? It's a Zeiss. To answer your question...if you have the 1.8 and can't sleep because of the 1.2 then by all means get it. Today, there are many capable 85mm for lesser price. My first choice and highly recommended is the Rokinon 85/1.2 and Sigma 85/1.4...not a 1.2 but it's an Otus fighter!
You hit it right on the head. The 85 1.2 is pretty much bragging rights. I have used both. You get just a hair more DOF then the 1.8.. No reason honestly to get the 1.2 if you have the 1.8. More DOF can be achieved in LR.
If going on a full frame camera the 85 1.8 is the one I use a lot more. On a crop frame I think the 50mm 1.4 might be more useful. The 85 is slightly better quality.
I also prefer a faster focus lens because you don't want to lose that moment for a great shot. Anyway, I think f/1.8 is already awesome enough for achieving soft background in portraiture shoot.
At 5:07 there was clearly more than just the candle lighting this scene. There are at least three catch lights in his eyes and shadows coming from directions other than from the candle.
Very practical review! I hate "unboxings" (from people who don't have any experience with the lens/camera), and pretend reviews that are really just advertising. You did an excellent job in providing an unbiased opinion from somebody who obviously uses both lenses.
Great review of these lenses Nick. Best I've seen for being informative. I think that unless one is being regularly paid for wedding or certain types of portrait photography then maybe the 1.2 is a good one to rent if the feeling to use it exists. It seems to serve a very narrow purpose and excel at it (in the hands of the right person of course). I've just bought a 100mm 2.8l macro, so I don't have money to even consider another purchase just yet. From, not a wedding photographer.
Very helpful review...and well done...Have you ever done a side by side with the Canon 1.2 vs the Sigma 85mm 1.4..The Canon 1.2 is too expensive for me (and slow), but would find interesting and helpful the Sigma 1.4 vs the Canon 1.8...Thanks...Philip
I like this review. Well summarized differences/similarities without getting too technical and without fidgeting with the lenses all the time. Good stuff
Thanks Nick, I was procrastinating about which one to get, but also like the difference between the 1.2 and 1.4 50MM lenses, I think I'm going with the 1.8 85MM after watching this. thanks mate.
Any thoughts on the sigma 85 f1.4. Seems like the price is right in between the 1.8 and 1.2 of the canon and from what ive seen, seems like a good lens as well. The 1.2 for me is just too expensive.
when it comes to dof I have had that same problem (nose in focus, face out of focus) with my 50mm 1.8 on a 60D, I think once you get below f/2 you venture into problems with nailing focus
Yes, I have been considering buying the Sigma 85 1.4 too, it seems a good mid point in both price and performance, and I have seen some very good reviews.
Great review I also own and 85 mm 1.8 is a very fast lens and is beautiful for wedding photography.... the F1 .2 is four times the price twice as heavy and you really have to justify the money for this lens for everyday shooting F 1.8 is a brilliant piece of kit ..
That really help me .. Just also make me confused why canon make 2 lens .. one of them wearing the sweet red line but doesn't work like the other lens?
Wonderful review, honest and it leads to a conclusion finally, this what makes your review sir stand out from all the million other reviews of these two particular lenses Respect
hi nick, im planning to buy a new lens for my 60D and currently using 18-200mm 3.5-5.6. i usually take photos indoor events like cosplays and carshows. and also planning to take some landscapes, which lens would you recommend on me? im thinking about 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm f4 and 24-105 f4. my main concern is the image quality for the lens stated. thanks...
looks like the only consideration to the 1.2 is low light photo, other than that, i think i should just keep my 50mm 1.4 for now as light is my priority. just want a 85mm lens for closer image so if i will get, might be the 1.8 instead.
Good review. After watching a few reviews you answered the questions that needed answering and the reality I've found is faster glass is so unpredictable. It's literally like 1 in 5 that are in focus. I am in the market again and realize that I decided correctly the first time with the 1.8. I'll probably end up buying the 1.2 because I want to try a few things, but I doubt that I will keep it.
Really liked this review. Only questions I would have are what were the settings on the camera that you used for say the shot of the birds. Great Review.
Yeah not exactly "THE wedding lens" if the Af is slow along with keeper rate is it? It is a very sharp lens and used in the studio for magazine fashion shoots where the environment is a little more controlled.
I will honestly see sometimes we want to select a lens off the hype or the look of the lens because I really want a 50mm 1.2 yet I hear all the time it is not really better than the 1.8 or 1.4 in IQ, just that it is slightly better at low light but big.
I call BS on that single candle comment. That black and white photos was not made by the light of the candle. Just look at the shadows on the man's face and the specular reflections on his eyes. Looks more like a flash shot. The candle serves only as a low level fill light.
Thanks for your videos, they are extremely helpful! I am definitely going to go for the 85mm 1.8. The 1.2 is dreamy looking, but your input made me feel better about not waiting years until I can afford the 1.2. However, I was wondering if you have an opinion on Canon's 35mm f2 vs the 1.4L? I'm definitely hoping the 35mm f2 is similar in quality and performance to the 85 1.8, as I was hoping to buy them both. Thanks again! :D
Hi .. I have the 85mm 1.8 & Canon T4i. I would like to know what is the best settings to get sharp image (be it indoor or out door) of 2 -3 kids and how far do I've to be away from the subject. I'm no expert in Photography. I have taken some pictures, however I'm still not very pleased comparing to the sample pictures that I have seen at different reviews.
windy torres I have both; the 85mm 1.8 is sharper particularly on the edges, much faster focusing and less distortion. On a 85mm it is a 135mm which works as a portrait but can be a little long, the 50mm is easier from a focal distance point of view. If I could only have one it would be the 85mm every time.
Agreed. Shooting a wedding, the most important thing is that you GET the shot (focus), if the image quality is 5% inferior, it's still worth it. You manage to get the child ringbearer in perfect focus and the shot is amazing, then the wedding kiss photo is slightly front focused...... I own the 1.2 and I wouldn't want to use it on a wedding, EXCEPT if I were the secondary photographer with the task to get that extra something, in which case, I wouldn't want any other lens, period.
Great comparison! :) It was helpful. One more question. Do I know correctly that the f/1.8 lens is suitable for crop sensor cameras too, not just for full frame? Like Canon EOS 1200D? Thank you for the answer :)
Two errors: f/1.8 to f/1.2 is 1 and 1/6th stops difference (~1.167), not 1 stop, and f/2.8 to f/1.2 is not 2 stops (you say 4 times the light at approx. 4:56) , it's 2.5 stops.
thanks for this vid, it just answered some important questions for me. now i can spend my money on your choice of lens with a little bit of confidence :) regards
Hey Nick! I was really inspired as i saw your review, so i got the 85 1.8 too and made a review! its in german, but i think the pictures at the end, is everyone able to understand :) Canon 85 1.8 USM Review - Erfahrungen, Vergleiche und Beispielbilder -
Actually, at f/1.8, the 85 f/1.2 ii will let in more light in my experience, by about 2/3 stops more than the EF f/1.8 at f/1.8. So the difference between them is not 1 stop as you would think, but more like 1.67 stops. That's a lot. But don't believe me, go try it yourself.
Awesome review, I was quite disappointed with how slow the 1.2 focuses. I tested both lenses and there was such small differences which had to do with the DOF. I actually liked the 1.8 more, it's very sharp. I also was quite disappointed when I realized the 1.2 has a lot of color fringing. Which for that price it shouldn't. I'd rather go for the 1.8!
Love my 85mm f/1.8! I a not really concerned about what my lens looks like! I am concerned about how the lens works and what the images shot with the lens look like. If I could afford it, I'd take the 85mm f/1.4L which IMO has the best attributes of both lenses.
Not gonna lie, the light the 1.2 gains is very attractive. For me, unfortunately it lacks IS which at that focal length is very important, esp if you do night shoots. What kills the 1.8 in my opinion is the lack of weather sealing, as with all non L lenses. This aspect really sucks. I don't mind paying premium prices for things as investments but for those prices, they must hit a few boxes: fast, weather sealed, and IS.
I have two canon lens that I will never trade in. one is 20 year old or so 85 1.8. awesome lens. easy to bring with you. fast and discrete. I love the 50 1.4 canon for same reasons
Your last line 'I'll take the 1.8 lens with me' was the decisive point. Cheers mate!
HAHA AGREED
same
I'm really glad I found this review. I like the way you have info in text format in the video and you show examples of what the lens can do instead of some other review where you only see some guy going on and on and on about the lens without showing what really matters.

I may sell the f/1.2 and get another lens.
great info and I agree on that as well. if you not going to shoot 1.2 99% of the time the 1.8 is the way to go!
Robert Estiandan
Thanks for the heads up. I wondered if the 85mm 1.8 was a keeper or not? Or if you should buy a 1.2 if you already have a 1.8? Thanks!
Drac03 At 1.2...critical focus must be made or bust. 99% of the time I use live mode and magnify for fine tuning with manual focus. I actually sold the 1.2 and grabbed the Zeiss Milvus...THE BEST!!!! Bokeh rendering is better than the Otus! Sharpness? It's a Zeiss. To answer your question...if you have the 1.8 and can't sleep because of the 1.2 then by all means get it.

Brandon Cole Photography Agree. 1.8 has more DOF and equates to forgiving focused area especially within minimal focal distance.
I agree with Paul. 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 are the two to consider.
If going on a full frame camera the 85 1.8 is the one I use a lot more. On a crop frame I think the 50mm 1.4 might be more useful. The 85 is slightly better quality.
Yes the f1.8 is a good alternative it does just about all the 1.2 can do just one stop less.
I also prefer a faster focus lens because you don't want to lose that moment for a great shot. Anyway, I think f/1.8 is already awesome enough for achieving soft background in portraiture shoot.
The 85 f/1.2L II is such a beautiful lens and is definitely worth it's money. And yes, I remember when I used it how heavy it was!
It's not that slow, if you have used the 50mm 1.8 II it is about twice as fast as that lens. Perfectly useable.
Wow. I love the the way you summarized the pros and cos of each lens. Great job man!
At 5:07 there was clearly more than just the candle lighting this scene. There are at least three catch lights in his eyes and shadows coming from directions other than from the candle.
Very practical review! I hate "unboxings" (from people who don't have any experience with the lens/camera), and pretend reviews that are really just advertising. You did an excellent job in providing an unbiased opinion from somebody who obviously uses both lenses.
I got the 1.8. Awesome photos on that thing.
Yes it does. The main reason for the slow focus of the 85mm 1.2 is that there is lots of glass to move and it has a focus by wire AF system.
Great review of these lenses Nick. Best I've seen for being informative. I think that unless one is being regularly paid for wedding or certain types of portrait photography then maybe the 1.2 is a good one to rent if the feeling to use it exists. It seems to serve a very narrow purpose and excel at it (in the hands of the right person of course). I've just bought a 100mm 2.8l macro, so I don't have money to even consider another purchase just yet. From, not a wedding photographer.
the 85mm 1.8 is better in every way (aside from cost and size) to the 50mm.
Very helpful review...and well done...Have you ever done a side by side with the Canon 1.2 vs the Sigma 85mm 1.4..The Canon 1.2 is too expensive for me (and slow), but would find interesting and helpful the Sigma 1.4 vs the Canon 1.8...Thanks...Philip
I like this review. Well summarized differences/similarities without getting too technical and without fidgeting with the lenses all the time. Good stuff
Yeah, I've been experimenting with lens compression, using longer focal lengths to get the shallow depth of field
Thanks Nick, I was procrastinating about which one to get, but also like the difference between the 1.2 and 1.4 50MM lenses, I think I'm going with the 1.8 85MM after watching this. thanks mate.
That is one of the standard screen savers in Mac OSX
Thanks for the comment
Good practical review Nick Murray, Thanks for that !
Sorry I have not used the Sigma but I have heard nothing but good things about it.
Any thoughts on the sigma 85 f1.4. Seems like the price is right in between the 1.8 and 1.2 of the canon and from what ive seen, seems like a good lens as well. The 1.2 for me is just too expensive.
How about indoor sporting events or action? Lots of people use the 85mm 1.8 for that.
I have also heard the 50mm 1.2 was the wedding lens before in the past. If you could only have one as a L prime, which would it be for a wedding?
Some people prefer 100mm on a full frame but personally I like the 85mm
Thnx Nick , i'm also reading about the 135mm L , so not sure yet which to buy :)
YES, it is one of the best portrait lens there is. Less distortion than the 50mm but not as long as a 100mm.
So in similar price range, which one you most recommend, EF 50mm f/1.4 or the 85mm f/1.8? thanks
when it comes to dof I have had that same problem (nose in focus, face out of focus) with my 50mm 1.8 on a 60D, I think once you get below f/2 you venture into problems with nailing focus
Yes, I have been considering buying the Sigma 85 1.4 too, it seems a good mid point in both price and performance, and I have seen some very good reviews.
Does the EF 1.2 focus slower at f1.2 because of the more shallow depth of field? If set at f1.8 does it focus slower than EF 1.8?
would the 85mm f1.8 be a great alternative for the 1.2 for wedding photos or would you suggest just getting the 1.2 in general?
Great review I also own and 85 mm 1.8 is a very fast lens and is beautiful for wedding photography.... the F1 .2 is four times the price twice as heavy and you really have to justify the money for this lens for everyday shooting F 1.8 is a brilliant piece of kit ..
That really help me .. Just also make me confused why canon make 2 lens .. one of them wearing the sweet red line but doesn't work like the other lens?
1:52 fastest of currently available lenses maybe .. but dont forget the 50/1.0 that shared the same chassis
Yes the 85 1.2 is at least twice as fast as the 50 1.8. Well done Michael Scott : )
Hey Nick , do u recommend the 85mm 1.8 for portrait shooting ? thnx
Have you seen the Rokinon 85mm t 1.5 cine lens? I'm trying to figure out if I should get that one or the canon 85 1.8. Both cost about the same.
Wonderful review, honest and it leads to a conclusion finally, this what makes your review sir stand out from all the million other reviews of these two particular lenses
Respect
hi nick, im planning to buy a new lens for my 60D and currently using 18-200mm 3.5-5.6. i usually take photos indoor events like cosplays and carshows. and also planning to take some landscapes, which lens would you recommend on me? im thinking about 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm f4 and 24-105 f4. my main concern is the image quality for the lens stated. thanks...

I have been torn between the two lenses and on the final statement its has to be the 1.8. thanks for the information. much appreciated.
Can you please clarify - the 85 1.2 focues twice as fast as the 50 1.8 or vice versa? PS - "I like it from the top as well." That's what she said!
Should I get the 85mm 1.8 or the 50mm 1.8?? I use a crop sensor DSLR
does the 85mm 1.8 focus fast on low light? my current lens 50mm 1.8 and i find it struggling to focus when there's not enough light,
Watching this in 2017 and bloody hell Nick how things have changed, going lens shopping today and car shopping tomorrow.
is this compatible with a Rebel t3 canon ?
Yes the 85 1.8 performs a lot better than the 50 1.8 in low light. All around better lens
Can you please make a comparison of canon 85 1.8 usm and 50 1.8 stm on aps-c. Thank you so much....
Its one of the standard Mac OS X screen savers
Great comparison. Thank you for pointing out the pros and cons on both!
You said the 1.8 is one stop slower than the 1.2.
[1.2..;1.4..;1.8...] Would that be a stop and a half???
Good review. After watching a few reviews you answered the questions that needed answering and the reality I've found is faster glass is so unpredictable. It's literally like 1 in 5 that are in focus. I am in the market again and realize that I decided correctly the first time with the 1.8. I'll probably end up buying the 1.2 because I want to try a few things, but I doubt that I will keep it.
Really appreciate this review. I've been torn over these two lens and the sigma art. For me your last comment was the decider for me. Cheers!
Really liked this review. Only questions I would have are what were the settings on the camera that you used for say the shot of the birds. Great Review.
No, the 1.2 is simply slower.
Sir how about Sigma 85 1.4 ex hsm lens.. a lot of talking about it lately... can u review it?
Yeah not exactly "THE wedding lens" if the Af is slow along with keeper rate is it? It is a very sharp lens and used in the studio for magazine fashion shoots where the environment is a little more controlled.
What screensaver do you use?
Have you tried the 1.4 version with IS? I'm getting the 1.8 i think. Just wondering if the 1.4 has problems with CA as these two lenses both do.
Hi. When doing manual focus on the f1.8 , can the focus ring be turned continually after you reach the end points or will it physically stop? Thanks
I will honestly see sometimes we want to select a lens off the hype or the look of the lens because I really want a 50mm 1.2 yet I hear all the time it is not really better than the 1.8 or 1.4 in IQ, just that it is slightly better at low light but big.
I call BS on that single candle comment. That black and white photos was not made by the light of the candle. Just look at the shadows on the man's face and the specular reflections on his eyes. Looks more like a flash shot. The candle serves only as a low level fill light.
how do you have the slideshow on your computer like that?
Thanks dude! Helped me much, The 1.2 lense is really nice but looks like i will keep my f1.8.
The 1.2 is definitely not for moving objects, its strength is portraiture
Thanks for your videos, they are extremely helpful! I am definitely going to go for the 85mm 1.8. The 1.2 is dreamy looking, but your input made me feel better about not waiting years until I can afford the 1.2. However, I was wondering if you have an opinion on Canon's 35mm f2 vs the 1.4L? I'm definitely hoping the 35mm f2 is similar in quality and performance to the 85 1.8, as I was hoping to buy them both. Thanks again! :D
Sad ending .... i love the 1.2... but you right on this video bro. Thanks for the review!!
Between 85mm f1.2l or 50mm f1.2l which one should i choose?
Hi .. I have the 85mm 1.8 & Canon T4i. I would like to know what is the best settings to get sharp image (be it indoor or out door) of 2 -3 kids and how far do I've to be away from the subject. I'm no expert in Photography. I have taken some pictures, however I'm still not very pleased comparing to the sample pictures that I have seen at different reviews.
On a Rebel T4i, an 85mm lens will have an equivalent distance of a 135mn lens.
Need help . I own a t3i and need a lens .
between 50 mm 1.4 and 85 mm 1.8 for portraits the sharpest of the two
Thanks in advance !
windy torres I have both; the 85mm 1.8 is sharper particularly on the edges, much faster focusing and less distortion. On a 85mm it is a 135mm which works as a portrait but can be a little long, the 50mm is easier from a focal distance point of view. If I could only have one it would be the 85mm every time.

Thanks for this great review. I'm trying to decide between the two lenses and this helps.
Two errors: f/1.8 to f/1.2 is 1 and 1/6th stops difference (~1.167), not 1 stop, and f/2.8 to f/1.2 is not 2 stops (you say 4 times the light at approx. 4:56) , it's 2.5 stops.
Hey Nick do you think the 85mm 1.8 EF is better than the Sigma 50 you give me for the small studio video
Yes the 85mm is a much better lens in all respects
You did a great job saying what's really important. So thumbs up for you!!
the 100mm is better ?
I could not agree more with this review the 85 1.2 is a tricky dickey to use and the keeper rate is too low for a lens of the price.
Thanks for that information; I found it cool
I wish you do comparison between:
Yongnuo YN 85 mm f/1.8 & Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM
Great review! I'm thinking of buying a 85mm 1.8
thanks for this vid, it just answered some important questions for me. now i can spend my money on your choice of lens with a little bit of confidence :)

Great review mate and was really helpful. Thanks mate
thanks for sharing, nick. simple, clear, and easy to understand.
love the commodore 64 tshirt and good informational video
Thanks Nick I'm buying a 1.8 so this really helps. Cheers
Actually, at f/1.8, the 85 f/1.2 ii will let in more light in my experience, by about 2/3 stops more than the EF f/1.8 at f/1.8. So the difference between them is not 1 stop as you would think, but more like 1.67 stops. That's a lot. But don't believe me, go try it yourself.
A very helpful and straight forward review, helped alot, thank you.
Awesome review, I was quite disappointed with how slow the 1.2 focuses. I tested both lenses and there was such small differences which had to do with the DOF. I actually liked the 1.8 more, it's very sharp. I also was quite disappointed when I realized the 1.2 has a lot of color fringing. Which for that price it shouldn't. I'd rather go for the 1.8!
Thanks for this I just got my 85 because of this review thanks for the great review
i bought the canon 85mm 1.8. i love that lens
Love my 85mm f/1.8! I a not really concerned about what my lens looks like! I am concerned about how the lens works and what the images shot with the lens look like. If I could afford it, I'd take the 85mm f/1.4L which IMO has the best attributes of both lenses.
Not gonna lie, the light the 1.2 gains is very attractive. For me, unfortunately it lacks IS which at that focal length is very important, esp if you do night shoots. What kills the 1.8 in my opinion is the lack of weather sealing, as with all non L lenses. This aspect really sucks. I don't mind paying premium prices for things as investments but for those prices, they must hit a few boxes: fast, weather sealed, and IS.
Very Good Work Nick Murray
I have two canon lens that I will never trade in. one is 20 year old or so 85 1.8. awesome lens. easy to bring with you. fast and discrete. I love the 50 1.4 canon for same reasons
Great video, that wedding picture was amazing thanks for sharing.
