    Canon RF 85mm F1.2L USM DS

    85mm · f/1.2

    Overview

    The Canon RF 85mm F1.2L USM DS is a professional portrait lens that excels in optical quality, with superb sharpness across the frame at F1.2 and outstanding bokeh thanks to its Defocused Smoothing coating, which softens out-of-focus highlights. However, the DS coating reduces light transmission by about 1.3 stops at wide apertures. Build quality is excellent, but the lens is large and heavy. It suits portrait photographers who prioritize smooth bokeh over maximum light gathering.
