After being in the market for a Canon 85mm f/1.2L II for several months now, I finally found one used for $800. That's a steal, right?
I see them selling used on eBay for around $1150-1300 depending on the condition of the lens and I was shocked when I found one selling for $800! I immediately reached out to the seller and took it off his hands. It's in practically new condition and the elements are clean. (Came with OEM lens hood and pouch!) No signs of fungi or internal dust particles, the focus ring is smooth and it's as sharp as a thumb tac!
Are there any quirks or tips I should know about using this lens? This isn't my first L lens and probably not my last, so I have some idea what to expect from it. Overall, I'm just really happy and wanted to share my purchase!
