So there's this thing about this lens where if you have some leading lines it'll do the bokeh but it'll blur the objects closer to the focus point less than the objects farther away. It does this incrementally and very noticeably. The images are stunningly three dimensional. There's no other lens i know about where this effect is as apparent. It's a little tough to find a shot with enough background and foreground context at 85mm but it can be done even on a crop sensor. Sometimes the best art is created with tools that are difficult to use.

This lens is a dream! So crisp and yet the depth of field is so dreamy!

Images with this lens look just as good as images from the original 85 1.2 but the focus is a bit faster. The adorama price with the bundle is exactly the same as just the lens from B&H. The filters and lens wrap are useful. Adorama marketing has been a bit annoying. Over 20 emails trying to upsell extended warranty and or insurance. We get it already- send an email a few days after purchase and another when factory warranty wears out. The rest are just reminders that those insurance plans are pure profit for the store and are not worth it.

I absolutely love shooting this 85 1.4. It's sharp, focuses quickly and although heavy, lets you know that it's there for the job. It is my stay on camera lens, where I change out lenses where needed, but this lens does a fantastic job when owner knows of its limitations.

This is better than the 1.2f in my opinion because of the IS.... It really is worth it!

Excelent portrait lens, I also use it for some landscape picture. Auto focus is very fast, and the picture is very sharp. Overall I like the image quality of the lens.

I’ve been researching for a while before making decisions of 85mm f1.4 lens. It’s super fast focusing and has sharp image. Perfect shallow blurry background when f1.4. If you are looking for a lens that’s for outdoor portrait, this is a good choice, considering the price is better than f1.2.

This lens is exactly what I needed in my life! My portraits have the creamiest backgrounds and eye popping clarity of my clients! The speed still holds well for movement shots and the stills are breathtaking! I would buy this ten times over...it’s defining who I am as a photographer!

I found the other reviews on this lense to be helpful. The 1.4 f stop over the 1.2 f stop is not a big loss. The IS on the lense is great for me. The bokeh is closer to a circle then on the 1.2 lense

I have only good things to say about this lens! I would fight my 1.2 with focus. I would say in the 1.2 only 1/4 of the photos would be in focus. THE 1.4 NEVER MISSES! I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! LOVE THE LENGTH... LOVE THE FOCUS.. LOVE EVERYTHING!

It is a good fit between the 85mm F/1.8 and the 85mm f/1.2. It replaces the 85mm F/1.8 and gives you an extra stop. It is not as heavy as 85mm f/1.2 and still give you an excellent performance with soft background. A Nice lens for portrait outside and studio. Great for close shooting which aloud some room between you a subject.

If you are looking at this and trying to decide between the 1.2 and 1.4 I would recommend this one! I fought with my 1.2 for 4 years. When the 1.2 nailed focus it was great but it only nailed 2 out of 5 shots. This lens (the 1.4) nails focus every time!

"I'm obsessed with this lens. Image stabilizer and fast focusing lets me use this absolutely anywhere."
With a superb combination of optics, performance, advanced features and a durable design, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is an outstanding L-series medium-telephoto lens. As Canon’s first 85mm L-series lens with IS capability, it has an advanced optical formula with a large-diameter aspherical lens, plus a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture to deliver gorgeous, sharp and detailed images suitable for virtually any application. Its versatile combination of built-in image stabilization and its sophisticated design make it perfect for handheld use even in harsh environments. Ideal for portraiture and creating a natural sense of distance between the user and the subject with a variety of scenes and subjects, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is engineered to perform and deliver the results photographers desire.
The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM marks a new level of agility in a medium-telephoto lens as Canon’s first 85mm L-series lens to incorporate Image Stabilization. It delivers up to 4* stops (CIPA Standard) of stabilization, making handheld operation possible in a vastly increased number of scenarios from portraiture to snapshots and everywhere in between.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS-1D X Mark II SLR camera. The number of stops may vary based on the camera model used.
The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM features a large f/1.4 maximum aperture, which produces a shallow depth of field for beautiful background blur, captures at a fast shutter speed, a bright viewfinder image as well as easy operation in low-light situations. Combined with its built-in IS, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM helps capture images in a variety of environments where other lenses may require the use of a flash or alternate lighting source.
For consistently sharp results, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM features an Image Stabilizer system that provides significant shake reduction for up to 4* shutter speed steps. This helps provide reliable handheld performance and clear image detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs. Because of Image Stabilization, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is engineered to help render crisp and clear images. For high-contrast images that remain sharp from corner to corner of the composition, it features a molded glass (GMo) aspherical lens, and the Image Stabilizer lens is coated with Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology for significantly reduced flare and ghosting from reflected light.
Built to L-series specifications, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM not only offers optical excellence but is designed to perform in even the most challenging environments. It delivers a dust- and water-resistant construction with seals around the switch panel, the focus rings and the mount. The surface of the lens even features a smudge-resistant fluorine coating that repels water and oil and can easily be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Thanks to its 9-blade, circular aperture, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is capable of gorgeous, evocative out-of-focus areas and soft backgrounds. With an incredible level of control over background blur, the 9-blade circular aperture helps create intimacy and intensity in both photos and videos for impactful results.
With a minimum focusing distance of 33.5 in./85cm, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM enables operation close to the subject, perfect for intimate portraits, headshots and detail work.
To help capture every movement, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM features a fast and near-silent AF system. It uses an inner focusing ring USM (ultrasonic motor) system that works with a high-speed CPU and optimized AF algorithms to help deliver precise, lightning-fast performance. For even more refinement, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM offers full-time manual focus as well.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS-1D X Mark II SLR camera. The number of steps may vary based on the camera model used.
