Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II  USM

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM

Price (MSRP): $2,100.00
TYPE: Fixed Focal Length Lens - Normal


The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2l II USM lens is fast and delivers superb optical performance. A maximum aperture of f/1.2 makes it the professional's choice for shooting without flash in low light conditions. The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of field for compelling portrait photogrpahy. Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of its predecessor, this medium telephoto lens has been improved with a ring-type USM, high-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed approximately 1.8x faster than the original. The high-speed AF and circular aperture create a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings.
