I'll second this. I have the 50 f/1.8 STM and the 85 f/1.8...barely use the 50 at all. The 85 is almost L good (though I haven't shot the 85 f/1.2L so I can't compare that), and the focus catches almost instantly, even in low light. I used it almost exclusively on a wedding I shot in May. I also have a 35 f/1.4L I that I use for anything wide.
