Canon 85mm f1.2

The Canon 85mm f/1.2 is my tighter-moment lens for things like vows, certain ceremony moments, and speeches. I use it less than my other lenses, but every time I pull it out I’m reminded how lovely it is—especially in low light where f/1.2 can really save you.

Pros

+Gorgeous look for portraits and emotional moments
+Great in low light at f/1.2
+A solid alternative to a 70-200 for how I shoot

Cons

-Heavy to carry
-Not a constant-on lens in my wedding flow
