Overview

The Canon EF 85mm ƒ/1.2 L II USM Photography Lens with EF-Mount is a telephoto prime covering Full Frame sensors. Telephoto focal lengths flatten perspective and lift a subject clear of its background, which portrait and sports photographers rely on. A ƒ/1.2 maximum aperture is among the fastest made, giving very shallow depth of field and usable shutter speeds after dark, closing to ƒ/16. Autofocus lets the camera's own subject detection drive the lens, which is what makes it usable for tracking moving subjects and for video. It mounts via EF-Mount. Closest focus is 3.1 ft, for a maximum magnification of 1:9.1.

Key Features

Telephoto Full Frame Coverage

The lens covers Full Frame sensors. A telephoto field of view compresses distance and separates a subject from its background, the range portrait and sports photographers work in.

ƒ/1.2 Maximum Aperture

ƒ/1.2 is among the fastest available, giving very shallow depth of field for portrait work and workable shutter speeds in low light, and the lens closes to ƒ/16.

Autofocus

The lens focuses under the camera's control, so hybrid shooters can use the body's own subject detection and tracking rather than pulling focus by hand — the difference between catching a moving subject and losing it.

1:9.1 Maximum Magnification

A maximum magnification of 1:9.1 sets how large a small subject renders on the sensor, with a closest focus of 3.1 ft.

Mount & Build

EF-Mount

The lens mounts via EF-Mount, which sets the bodies it fits directly and those it reaches through an adapter.

Electronic Lens Communication

Contacts in the mount pass aperture, focus and focal length between lens and body, so exposure data is recorded to EXIF and in-camera corrections for distortion and vignetting apply automatically.
