Customers are saying

Customers value the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Medium Telephoto Lens for its exceptional image quality and beautiful bokeh, creating stunningly sharp images with smoothly blurred backgrounds, ideal for portraits. However, some find the lens heavy and the focus ring somewhat loose, requiring careful handling. The high price point is also a factor for some potential buyers.

    The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II is a fantastic lens to have in your arsenal! It's perfect for almost anything: sports, weddings, portraits, and even nature photography. L series prime lenses are on the more expensive side but you definitely get what you pay for. Couldn't be happier having this lens in my collection.

    Waited way too long to purchase this lens. I no longer have to carry multiple lenses as this one does the trick. Sharp, great in low light. Feels nice and sturdy in your hands. I'm not bothered by weight as I own several heavy lenses and find this one to be easier to carry than my 70-200 F2.8.

  • Auto focus speed improved on the R6

    Purchased this lens, owned it previously, in hopes that on my R6 that it would focus faster. Yes, yes it does. Lens is not known for its focus speed but with the adapter, $99, it focuses at least 30-40 percent faster and is just as accurate. Was pleasantly surprised but I also had very high hopes. I had lusted after this lens since I sold it a couple years ago. Saved $1000.00 from buying the RF version.

    One of the best portrait lenses for full frame cameras out there. It’s a niche lens that some people may not prefer over 70-200 2.8, but I am in love with the results.

    Yes. Just yes. Canon may come out with a 1.4 IS but it won't melt the foreground/background like 1.2 will.
