Compatibility

Features a wide aperture range from f/1.2 to f/16, perfect for depth-of-field control.

Optical Design

Benefits from Super Spectra Coating to minimize ghosting and flare for better contrast.

Coating

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is a **prime** lens built for **Canon EF** mount **DSLR** systems, covering a **full-frame** image circle at a fixed **85mm** focal length. Its standout specification is the **f/1.2** maximum aperture, which places it among the widest available options in this focal length range and opens up significant creative possibilities for shallow depth of field and low-light shooting. The lens supports both **autofocus and manual focus**, providing operational flexibility for different shooting styles and subjects. A **72mm** filter thread makes it straightforward to add screw-in filters for creative or protective purposes. At **1025g**, the lens has a solid, substantial feel consistent with its professional-grade designation. It is worth noting that **image stabilization is not included**, so photographers working at slower shutter speeds will need to manage camera movement through technique or support. As a dedicated **full-frame prime** in the standard focal length range, this lens is purpose-built for Canon DSLR shooters who want maximum aperture performance at 85mm.

One of the widest apertures available in an 85mm prime, enabling extreme subject isolation and low-light shooting without a flash.

f/1.2 Maximum Aperture

Classic portrait focal length with full-frame coverage, delivering a natural perspective and flattering compression for subject photography.

85mm Full-Frame Prime

Canon's professional L-series designation indicates premium optical construction and materials built for long-term, heavy-use reliability.

L-Series Build Quality

Ultrasonic motor provides near-silent autofocus operation with full-time manual focus override without switching out of AF mode.

Ring-Type USM Autofocus

Produces smooth, rounded bokeh in out-of-focus areas, particularly valued in portrait work for pleasing background rendering.

8-Blade Circular Aperture

Compatible with the full range of Canon EF-mount DSLR cameras, including full-frame bodies like the 5D and 1D series.

Canon EF Mount

Standard 72mm thread accepts a wide variety of commonly available filters for creative or protective use.

72mm Filter Thread

The substantial weight reflects the large-diameter glass elements required to achieve the f/1.2 maximum aperture at this focal length.

1025g Optical Construction

Lacks optical stabilization, so shooting at slower shutter speeds in low light requires careful technique or a stable support.

No Image Stabilization
