top guns for portraits

What price Canon’s tip-top f/1.2 portrait primes, and is the extra 1/3 or 2/3 stop worth the money?

there’s a big step up the price ladder if you want to buy one of Canon’s top-notch 50mm or 85mm f/1.2l (Luxury) lenses. They beat everything in this test group for sheer aperture width, but the 50mm costs £1370/$1300 and the 85mm is even pricier at £1800/$1900. Both lenses have fully professional-grade build quality but, while their image quality is very pleasing, they’re somewhat notorious for soft image quality when shooting wide-open, especially the 50mm.
