A paragon of optical excellence, the RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens from Canon is a quintessential choice for professional photographers who demand the utmost in image quality and performance. This prime lens, with its fixed 85mm focal length and an ultra-wide f/1.2 maximum aperture, excels in a variety of settings, from portrait photography and wedding shoots to fashion editorials and low-light environments. Its ability to produce stunningly soft backgrounds and bokeh makes it a favorite for creating compelling visual narratives.
The lens's fast autofocus speed is a game-changer, particularly when paired with the Eye Detection AF feature available in select EOS R and EOS RP cameras, ensuring critical focus on the subject's eye for strikingly vivid portraits. The advanced Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics (BR) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) work in tandem to significantly reduce chromatic aberration and combat flaring and ghosting, ensuring your images are clear and color-accurate.
Crafted with 13 elements in 9 groups and a 9-blade aperture system, the RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens is engineered to deliver sharp, detailed images across the entire frame, even when shooting wide open. The minimum focusing distance of 2.79 ft./0.85m, coupled with a maximum magnification of approximately 0.12x, allows for versatility in composition, from intimate portraits to intricate details in still life.
The lens's intuitive control ring, located on the barrel, provides direct access to critical settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation. This tactile feature, with its distinguishable surface and feedback mechanism, enhances the user experience, allowing for seamless adjustments while composing shots through the viewfinder.
Optimized for the RF mount, the lens boasts an Aspherical element and an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass element, which together ensure superior image quality and minimal distortion. The 12 pin communication system enhances the lens's interaction with the camera, facilitating rapid AF, Image Stabilization, and the Digital Lens Optimizer for a swift and efficient shooting experience.
As part of the robust L series, the RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens is constructed to withstand the demands of professional use. Its dust- and weather-resistant design, complete with fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements, ensures reliability in challenging conditions, while the vibration shock resistance maintains performance stability.
Included in this comprehensive bundle is a Flex Lens Shade, an 82mm Filter Kit, a Cleaning Kit, a Lens Wrap, a Lens Cleaner, a Lens Cap Tether, and a Mac Software Kit, providing everything needed to maintain and enhance the lens's functionality. Whether capturing the subtle nuances of a bride's expression or the dynamic energy of a live concert, the RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens bundle is an indispensable addition to any Canon EOS R system photographer's toolkit.
