RF85mm f/1.2L USM DS - RF Lens World - Canon India

Canon’s unique Defocus Smoothing (DS) coating* helps to bring out the subject in portrait photography, helping the RF85mm f/1.2 L USM to achieve a more beautiful bokeh effect, without changing the optical system. DS coating is a deposition technology that gradually reduces transmittance by increasingly blocking light radiation from the center to the periphery of the lens. The DS coating softens and blurs the outlines of the subject images, resulting in a smooth and beautiful bokeh effect. In addition, its imaging qualities, the lens also offers the highest level of performance in terms of operability, rigidity, dust- and water-resistance, and other features, delivering comfortable operation and high durability. This lens is ideal for photographers who aim for the highest level in portrait photography.

* The DS coating lower transmittance toward the lens periphery, so lens brightness at maximum aperture is approximately 1⅓ stop darker than at f/1.2. By updating the camera firmware to the latest version, exposure control in AE will operate properly.
