Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM Overview:
The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens combines a popular portrait-length focal range with an ultra-bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, making it ideal for capturing sharp, well-exposed images even in low-light conditions. Its large aperture also provides excellent control over depth of field, making it perfect for selective focus techniques and achieving a beautiful, soft background blur (bokeh).
Engineered with advanced optics, the lens incorporates Canon's Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) Optics element, specifically designed to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing. This innovative element ensures stunning clarity and color fidelity. The lens also includes an ultra-low dispersion (UD) element and an aspherical element, which work together to minimize distortions and produce sharp, high-resolution images.
To enhance image quality in bright or backlit scenarios, the lens features an Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, resulting in images with high contrast and accurate color reproduction.
For smooth and precise focusing, the lens is equipped with a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), optimized with advanced focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU for fast and near-silent autofocus performance. Full-time manual focus override is also supported, giving you full control whenever needed.
Additionally, the lens features a customizable control ring, allowing quick and easy adjustments to key exposure settings, such as aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation, directly from the lens.
Designed to withstand challenging shooting environments, the RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM is part of Canon's prestigious L-series, offering weather-sealed protection against dust and moisture. The 9-blade rounded diaphragm enhances the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas, making it an excellent choice for portraiture, where smooth, pleasing bokeh is essential.
