Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM lens with filter kit

Portrait lens and filter bundle

This Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM lens is a short-telephoto prime built for full-frame EF-mount DSLRs. The bundle adds a 72mm three-piece filter kit, a cap keeper and a cleaning kit. A maximum aperture of f/1.2 gives strong depth-of-field control and good low-light performance. One aspherical element and a floating optical system help maintain sharpness across the focus range.

Portrait shooters wanting shallow depth of field

The f/1.2 aperture suits photographers who isolate subjects and work in dim conditions. The 85mm focal length on full frame becomes a 136mm equivalent on APS-C bodies, still useful for headshots. Buyers who need zoom versatility or a lighter lens for travel should look elsewhere. Video users requiring silent focus motors may also prefer a different design.

Fast aperture and optical corrections

The f/1.2 maximum aperture comfortably handles indoor portraits and evening events without flash. The aspherical element and Super Spectra coating control spherical aberration, flare and ghosting at wide apertures. Stopping down further extends sharpness across the frame. Extreme corner performance at f/1.2 may show softness that some critical applications cannot tolerate.
