An ideal lens for ...

Portraits

With an attractive background blur and exceptional sharpness, portraits take on even more detail and a whole new dimension. This is thanks to advanced lens technologies, modern coatings and RF bayonet technology.

Street photography

On the street, you can shoot discreetly and with control. You'll never miss a moment thanks to fast focusing from the powerful USM motor, which ensures the lens focuses on the subject.

Low-light

Even when the sun has long set, you can keep shooting ? thanks to the enormous f/1.2 speed, you'll capture every detail with superb sharpness from the center of the frame to the edges.

Tremendous speed and superb optical precision

With its fast f/1.2 aperture, the lens offers top-notch low-light performance and tremendous sharpness and pleasing bokeh without sacrificing image quality.

Modern lenses and coatings

The lens is designed with BR (Blue Spectrum Refractive) optics to prevent chromatic aberrations, and an aspherically ground lens prevents spherical aberrations that could result from the extreme aperture.

L Series quality with weather sealing

The quality of the lens construction takes the L Series to a whole new level. The weather-sealing prevents dust and splashing water from entering, and the fluorine coating on the front and rear lenses protects them from dirt and scratches.

Fast USM motor and lens control ring

The RF bayonet of the RF 85mm F1.2L USM enables tremendous speed in focusing, and the lens control ring can be assigned specific functions.
