sample images:

(before looking at them .. )

They are OOC JPG with sharpness at 0, however CA and vignetting enabled.

That was not a turn-off ...

Canon usually have some horrible editing with their sample shots, and this is no different, BUT, I can see that this lens is just something else... I'm getting one!

I could be wrong, but I'm seeing very little if any bokeh fringing...
which makes this near-APO .. at 35mm.

Yay, I called it (to myself): Canon would release Zeiss APO glass with autofocus at a lower price. C'mon 50mm now.

So there it is
Luckily the price is south 2k. Otherwise I would have declared Canon mad.
Though 1.8k is still a lot :-\

Now let's wait for the reviews

24,85,125 and 14 too please.

but I may have to sell a kidney.

Am I blind or did the 50mm 1.2 just get yanked off of Canon's site?
Ohh this could be a great year!

I LOVED my 35mm mki but sold it for the 50mm 1.2 becasue of the CA. Now with this lens announced I may go back to another 35mm Woo Hoo! I think the price is Very fair considering this looks like it may be one of the sharpest lenses made yet.

I can confirm that the 50/1.2 is not listed on Canon USA as far as I can see.

Probably just a mistake when adding the new 35.

Dito.
But it is still on the German page, so I'd go for the "mistake" theory.

So this the outdoor version of the previous version. Takes away the blue color around tree branches and is fully bad weather resistant.

No need I say. They all will be nice. No questions.

What does APO stand for please?

What does APO stand for please?

Apochromat

 

[fish_shooter]

apochromatic

The Japanese language link from earlier post shows examples of with and without axial color error (trumpet) and with and without huge coma (night shot). I hope the 'without' shots were done with the new lens!

What does APO stand for please?

 

[Memdroid]

The MTF chart is insane! This may be the best 1.4 prime ever!
Pre-ordering it now.

What sort of price should we be looking at for the UK. For me that's extremely expensive but want to upgrade my 35L as it's my most used lens.

 

[sanj]

Thanks.

Any images of the hood yet?

It would be the perfect lens if the no coma is confirmed but I think the night shot was taken with a small aperture.
