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 LensCanon Mount Adapter EF-EOS RShoulder Bag64GB Memory Card

The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS is a premium portrait-length prime lens designed for full-frame RF-mount cameras, renowned for its ultra-bright f/1.2 aperture and specialized Defocus Smoothing (DS) coating that produces extremely soft bokeh while maintaining crisp subject detail—perfect for fashion, portrait, and fine-art photography.
The Defocus Smoothing coating enhances out-of-focus areas, creating velvety transitions that make subjects stand out with three-dimensional realism. Though the coating reduces light transmission by about 1.3 stops wide open, performance aligns with the standard RF 85mm f/1.2 by f/3.2, balancing artistic bokeh with professional sharpness and clarity.
Advanced optics include a Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations and color fringing, complemented by an aspherical and a UD element for high-resolution images with minimal distortion. An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) enhances contrast and color fidelity by suppressing flare and ghosting under strong or backlit conditions.
Powered by a fast, near-silent ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), the lens offers precise autofocus with full-time manual override. Its customizable Control Ring provides direct access to exposure settings, and weather-sealed L-series construction ensures durability in demanding environments. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to the lens’s signature smooth bokeh.
