The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM combines a beloved short-telephoto focal length with an exceptionally bright maximum aperture, distinguished by its sophisticated optical design that yields well-corrected images. Its fast f/1.2 aperture performs admirably in challenging lighting situations and is advantageous for achieving shallow depth of field and selective focus effects. The optical configuration includes a Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element, a specially engineered component that significantly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring remarkable clarity and color precision. Additionally, the lens incorporates an ultra-low dispersion element and an aspherical element to further mitigate various aberrations and distortions, resulting in outstanding sharpness and resolution. Each element is treated with an Air Sphere Coating to minimize flare and ghosting, providing high contrast and color fidelity even in bright or backlit environments.
Enhancing its imaging performance, the lens features a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor that offers rapid, nearly silent autofocus along with full-time manual focus override. Furthermore, a distinctive Control Ring is seamlessly integrated into the lens design, allowing for intuitive adjustments to exposure settings directly from the lens.
- Portrait-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras.
- Exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.
- Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element virtually eliminates color fringing and chromatic aberrations by refracting shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum (blue light).
- One aspherical element and one UD element also help to control aberrations and distortions for sharper, clearer image quality.
- An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) has been applied to lens elements to reduce backlit flaring and ghosting for maintained light transmission and high contrast in strong lighting conditions.
- Ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms, a high-speed CPU, and an internal focusing design, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
- Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
- As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
- Rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
