Portrait prime for full-frame EF

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is a short telephoto prime designed for full-frame EF-mount cameras. Its bright f/1.4 aperture suits portrait and event photographers who need shallow depth of field and reliable low-light performance. Weather-sealed L-series construction supports professional use in demanding environments.

Optical formula and stabilization

One glass-molded aspherical element reduces spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness. Air Sphere Coating suppresses flare and ghosting in backlit scenes. A four stop-effective optical image stabilizer minimizes camera shake during handheld shooting. Fluorine coating on exposed elements eases cleaning in harsh conditions.

Maximum aperture f/1.4

The f/1.4 maximum aperture determines low-light capability and depth-of-field control for portrait work. Aperture range extends to f/22 for flexibility across lighting conditions. Ring-type USM delivers quick, accurate autofocus with full-time manual override. This specification decides whether the lens meets your creative and exposure requirements.

Questions about this item

How often will the fluorine coating on the front element need reapplication?

The fluorine coating on the exposed elements is permanent and does not require reapplication; only routine cleaning with a soft cloth is needed.

What optical limit appears first when shooting wide open at f/1.4 for extended sessions?

Spherical aberration is the primary limit at f/1.4, though the glass-molded aspherical element is designed to greatly reduce it for improved sharpness.

How much heat does the image stabilization unit generate during all-day handheld use?

The four stop-effective optical image stabilizer operates passively within the lens barrel and does not produce noticeable heat during continuous handheld shooting.
