Overview
Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of the original EF 85mm f/1.2L USM, this new medium telephoto lens uses 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. The floating optical system, which includes an aspherical lens element, suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance.
Features:
- Large-diameter, high-precision aspheric lens element for excellent imaging performance even at the maximum aperture
- Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet autofocusing
- Electronic manual focusing detects electronically how much the focusing ring is being rotated for manual focusing
- Manual focusing is available after the subject comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE SHOT AF)
- A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer background blur
- The lens is suitable for portraits and other types of photographs making full use of the large-diameter lens feature for nice background blur
