Dear interested buyer(s) of this wonderfully presented Canon EF-50mm F1.2L MkII lens. It's most unfortunate to inform you guys out there that this product don't exist at all. I've written an email to Canon USA with query regarding this MkII and got a reply from them, stating that they've only so far produced one version of it. That is, the EF-50mm F1.2L MkI !!!
Though there seems to be a slight difference in the stated specs between the MkI and MkII when it comes to the number of elements and groups in the lens, which made the whole thing even more convincing. Don't believe it at all. Hope this "review" helps! I just can't sit around doing nothing when I know it's not right :)
