About this product
The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS is a masterful portrait lens that prioritizes exquisite bokeh and optical excellence. Designed for full-frame RF-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens distinguishes itself with Canon’s Defocus Smoothing (DS) coating—a unique optical treatment that produces an exceptionally soft, smooth background blur while maintaining outstanding sharpness in focus. Its ultra-bright f/1.2 aperture enables creative depth of field control and superior low-light capability, making it ideal for portraits, fashion, and fine-art photography. The optical system integrates a Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) element to eliminate color fringing, along with one aspherical and one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element to ensure high resolution, contrast, and accurate color. An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) further minimizes ghosting and flare for clear, high-contrast imagery even in backlit scenes. Autofocus performance is driven by a fast, near-silent ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) that provides rapid, precise focusing and full-time manual override. As part of the elite L-series, the lens features robust weather sealing and fluorine-coated elements for resistance to dust, moisture, and smudges. The customizable Control Ring allows on-lens adjustment of settings such as aperture and ISO, while the rounded nine-blade diaphragm enhances the dreamy, cinematic bokeh for which the DS version is celebrated. Combining artistry and precision, the RF 85mm f/1.2L DS is the definitive portrait lens for discerning professionals.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS LensCanon E-82 II Lens CapCanon Lens Dust Cap RFCanon ET-89 Lens HoodCanon LP1424 Lens PouchBundle Items Include:Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS LensShoulder Bag64GB Memory Card

Feature 5
Powered by a fast, near-silent ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), the lens offers precise autofocus with full-time manual override.
