Canon - RF85mm F1.2 L USM Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

Hands down one of the best investments I've ever made! Sharpness surpassed my expectations by far, especially in low light. Maybe a bit heavy and bulky for some users but the quality of the pictures made post product nearly unnecessary!

This Canon RF 85mm 1.2 lens is seriously a game-changer! It's like the king of portrait lens, capturing insane detail and making every shot look professionally done. The bokeh? Absolutely dreamy, giving that perfect blurred background that makes your subject pop. It nails focus super quickly and silently, catching those awesome moments without a fuss. Even in low light, this lens is a champ, letting you snap away without losing any of that amazing quality. Yeah, it's a bit of a splurge, but man, the results speak for themselves. Every shot is just a work of art with this thing. Totally worth the investment for the epic boost in photo quality and those stunning portraits you're gonna get. If you're all about capturing those perfect moments with top-notch clarity and beauty, this lens is the way to go. It’s like having a little magic in your camera bag, ready to make every shot breathtaking.

First thing first: this lens is not cheap. I’m using an EOS R and this lens is easily more than twice as much as my camera. But this is quality and you get what you pay for. The pictures come out crispy sharp, the backgrounds melt away because of the 1.8 aperture size, and the 85mm focal length creates a style that I’m in love with. It flattens the background, gives subjects a flattering look, and melts away everything not in focus. For picture quality, this is my absolute go to lens for everything. If it wasn’t for the size and the tight focal length, this would be everyday lens (but trust me, despite this I still try and make it my daily lens). Downsides: This is fat. Chunky. Huge. To the point where it makes me question whether it will eventually snap off the camera. Fortunately it hasn’t happened, but it is something that gets a bit heavy to handle. Because of the tight focal length and the fact that it’s a prime lens, you might not have many opportunities to use this.

Fast Focus,Crispy Sharp,Yes Heavy-But its do amazing result. If you can afford it, you're not wrong with it!!!!!!!!

Canon far outdid themselves with this lens. Yes, it may be pricey, but until you've shot with this lens and seen what it can do, you haven't experienced sharpness before. As soon as you take it out of the box, you know you're dealing with a quality product. The weight is perfect to feel like a proper quality lens without being overbearing or difficult to use. I don't know what Canon coated the lens barrel with, but I can't seem to scratch or scuff it at all. Fingernails, rings, cat claws, it doesn't matter. I simply wipe the barrel off with my shirt and its brand new again. Mount it to your camera and the magic begins. Even just messing around with it, the sharpness, colors, and bokeh quality are immediately apparent. But the pièce de résistance is by far the sharpness capability of this masterwork. I thought I was buying an 85mm lens, but I've actually come to find that this is a 85-150mm lens. The extent that I can crop my images and still arrive at a usable photo is astounding. I can crop 3:1 and still get a sharper image from this 85mm than I ever could out of my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM without any cropping. Oh, and chromatic aberration just doesn't exist with this lens. I could talk for days about the sharpness, but I'll leave it with that. In summary, yes, it is expensive, but there is no flaw with this lens in any aspect. And as camera technology continues to advance, this lens will only get better. To any portrait, wedding, studio photographer or anyone simply looking for as sharp a lens as possible, this lens needs to be in your bag. You won't regret it.
