[REVIEW:] Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens Review – The-Digital-Picture
It takes a lot of glass to be that fast – and it sure looks nice. It is especially attractive with that red ring around the end of it. 
The biggest downside to the original Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L USM Lens was the very slow focusing speed. If you were shooting portraits, it didn’t matter. But, a lens this fast begs to be used for indoor action sports. — The-Digital-Picture

[REVIEW:] Review of Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II Lens and Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 Lens – W.L. Castleman
I could have given this review the title, “In Praise of the EF 85mm f/1.8 Lens.” It does almost everything that the EF 85mm f/1.2 L does faster, cheaper, lighter and smaller. There are a few notable exceptions. The 1.2L lens gathers more light, and it produces outstanding diffuse background blur (bokeh) and an associated exceedingly narrow plane of focus that can produce a unique look that is very attractive for portraits and useful in many indoor sports/action photography applications. However, unless you have a need to shoot at apertures wider than f/2 (f/1.4 or f/1.2) and/or are a portrait photographer, the EF 85mm f/1.8 lens will meet almost all of your needs for a fast 85mm lens. — W.L.
