The EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens from Canon is a fast‎,‎ medium telephoto lens that delivers superb optical performance‎.‎ A maximum aperture of f/1.2 makes it the professional‎'‎s choice for shooting without flash in low light conditions‎.‎ The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of field for compelling portrait photography‎.‎  A floating optical system and high precision aspherical lens element reduce aberrations and contributes to excellent imaging performance even at the maximum aperture‎.‎ Super Spectra lens coatings minimize reflections‎,‎ reducing flare and ghosting‎.‎

Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of its predecessor‎,‎ this lens has been improved with a ring‎-type ultrasonic autofocus motor ‎(‎USM‎)‎‎,‎ high‎-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve fast‎,‎ smooth and quiet autofocus‎.‎ Manual focus override enables precise manual focus at any time‎,‎ even in AF mode‎.‎ The truly circular aperture creates a shallow depth‎-of‎-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background‎,‎ which is ideal for portraits‎.‎ This L‎-series lens features weather‎-sealing to protect the lens from damage brought on by moisture and dust‎.‎

L‎-Series

The L‎-series is Canon‎'‎s flagship professional lens range‎,‎ combining outstanding image performance and ultimate operability with dust and moisture resistant construction‎.‎

Large f/1.2 Aperture

The large maximum aperture of f/1.2 provides outstanding speed for shooting in low light conditions‎,‎ without the need for flash‎.‎

Fast and Quiet AF

The ring‎-type USM uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive extremely rapid autofocus with near‎-silent operation‎.‎ A high‎-speed CPU and optimized AF algorithms contribute further to AF speed‎.‎ Full time electronic manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF‎.‎

Super Spectra Coatings

Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping suppress flare and ghosting‎,‎ more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor‎.‎ Coatings also help achieve true color balance and increase contrast for vivid hi‎-fidelity images‎.‎

Aspherical Element

The floating optical system‎,‎ which includes an aspherical lens element‎,‎ suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance‎.‎

8‎-Bladed Circular Aperture

The circular aperture creates a shallow depth‎-of‎-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background‎,‎ which is ideal for portraits‎.‎
