    85mm · f/1.3

    Overview

    The Canon CN-E 85mm T/1.3 L F cinema prime offers excellent sharpness, even wide open, with beautiful bokeh from an 11-blade iris. It has a solid, durable build, smooth focus and iris rings, and a 300° focus throw for precise pulls. Lens flare is attractive, and breathing is well-controlled. A notable weakness is the EF-only mount, limiting compatibility with PL-mount cameras. It suits filmmakers seeking a high-quality, full-frame cinema lens with manual controls and robust construction.
