Portrait Lens for EF-Mount Cameras

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is an L-series short-telephoto lens designed for full-frame Canon EOS cameras. It targets portrait photographers who need exceptional subject isolation and shallow depth of field. The bright f/1.2 maximum aperture provides significant control over focus planes for creative imaging.

Maximum Aperture f/1.2

The single specification that defines this lens is its f/1.2 maximum aperture, the widest in Canon's 85mm EF lineup. This speed allows precise depth-of-field management for isolating subjects against soft backgrounds. The aperture range extends to f/16 for deeper focus when required.

Sustained Optical Performance

A floating optical system maintains consistent image quality across the entire focusing range, preventing degradation at close distances. One aspherical element suppresses spherical aberrations during extended use. Super Spectra coating reduces flare and ghosting in varied lighting, while the rounded 8-blade diaphragm produces smooth background rendering. Weather-sealed construction supports reliability in demanding conditions.

Questions about this item

How does the f/1.2 maximum aperture affect depth of field in portraits?

The f/1.2 maximum aperture provides extensive control over depth of field, allowing you to isolate subjects from the background with a very thin plane of focus for strong selective focus effects.

What does the EF mount mean for compatibility with my camera?

The EF mount fits Canon full-frame and APS-C EOS DSLRs directly; on mirrorless R-series bodies it requires an EF-EOS R adapter.

What physical features help the lens handle outdoor shooting?

Weather-sealed construction protects against dust and moisture, and the rounded 8-blade diaphragm maintains smooth background blur when stopping down.
