The 85mm f/1.2 lens brings together a range of optical technologies to maximize image quality. This standard, large-aperture, single-focal-length lens delivers high resolution, high contrast, and a rich, beautiful bokeh effect. At the maximum aperture setting the lens delivers crisp resolution in all areas of the image for breathtaking photos. The Blue-spectrum Refractive-optics (BR) lens, Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens, and aspherical lens are effectively positioned to reduce chromatic aberration significantly. The lens is also equipped with a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF and optimized lens control enhance AF precision, allowing the photographer to focus only on the target area even with an extremely shallow (f/1.2) depth of field. In addition, Air Sphere Coating (ASC) significantly reduces the possibility of lens flare or ghosting. A dust- and water-resistant* fluorine coating makes it easy to maintain. This lens is one of the most representative of Canon’s portrait lenses.
* This does not guarantee that water and dust will not penetrate the camera. To ensure proper dust- and water-resistance, the lens must be attached to the camera body.
