Lens Info - Canon EF 85mm f1.2 L II USM
Canon EF 85mm f1.2 L II USM
The Canon EF 85mm f1.2 L II USM lens is a renowned portrait lens prized for its exceptional optical performance and stunningly shallow depth of field. With an ultra-wide f1.2 aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and offers exquisite background blur, making subjects stand out with remarkable clarity and presence. Renowned for its L-series designation, this lens guarantees top-notch build quality, durability, and weather resistance, ensuring reliability even in demanding shooting environments. On the down side there is a lot of glass in this lens and the underpowered motor made this lens a notoriously slow focuser. Optically this lens was a good performer however, in high contrast situations there is a noticeable amount of purple fringing going on. Nothing that could not be fixed in post but still worth noting. This lens is a favorite among professional portrait photographers seeking unparalleled image quality and artistic expression.
