We rented out the 56mm 1.2 and that thing is phenomenal. The price is just right too, cheaper than the 85L by a margin of almost 1/2, just a little difficult if not impossible to find at the moment.

Personally i think IQ is on close to my SLRs (5d3/7D combo), except that the keeper % is lower since EVF lag is still present.

I just like having something that I won't be sad about if it breaks. Even at 700 bucks its cheaper than any L lens or specialty prime.
B&H had a deal the other day for Fuji mount Zeiss lenses. It was almost 50% off if you bought the two lenses together as opposed to singly. I was tempted and I don't even own a Fuji yet.
