Description

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is a premium medium telephoto lens engineered for portrait and wedding photography. Featuring an f/1.2 maximum aperture, this fixed focal length lens delivers exceptional shallow depth-of-field and subject isolation through its circular aperture design. The ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM) with high-speed CPU delivers autofocus speeds approximately 1.8x faster than the original model, ensuring sharp focus on moving subjects. A floating optical system incorporating an aspherical lens element suppresses aberrations and maintains excellent imaging performance across the frame. The lens offers a 28 degrees30' diagonal angle of view, with a closest focusing distance of 3.2 feet, making it ideal for tightly framed portraits and intimate compositions. Full-time manual focus adjustment is available for precise control. The EF mount design ensures compatibility with Canon DSLR cameras.
