Really nice portraits, great DOF and you've kept the images simple, just the focus on (parts of sometimes) your subjecst. I really like them.

I am thinking of purchasing this, Question is though,
How bad is the Purple Fringing?
I currently have the the 85mm 1.8, along with 50L, 135L, 100L, 70-200L IS II. Thinking of upgrading but my 85mm has purple fringing in high contrast situations and almost ruins pictures and I have heard the same if not worse on this one, I love the pictures it produces, and I know high contrast is rare, but I had it ruin a set of pictures at my last wedding not being aware of it. How bad is it, and is it worth it? (my lenses are used for 2 shooter's, myself and my 2nd shooter, which is why I just dont always use the 70-200)

It's there, but not nearly as bad as the 85mm f/1.8. Plus, the bokeh of the 85mm f/1.2L II is better, even with both at f/1.8.

2 lens characteristics you dont need to worry about on any canon lens
1 purple fringe and
2 distortion
lens correction in PS and lightroom fix these in seconds
biggest issue with this lens and the ONLY thing that stopped me buying it is how slow it is to Autofocus and that the flyby wire Manual focus relys on the AF system.
If you can live with that and can afford it
then it will give the best image quality you can get
BTW i chose the sigma f1.4 due to significantly better AF speed awesome IQ as said above by others

I mostly agree with you about distortion.
But fringing is something I've definitely struggled to get rid of in high contrast shots from my 50 f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.8. What's your Lightroom technique to get rid of fringing?
