About Best Canon Lenses Canon EF 85mm
The Best Canon Lenses Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Medium Telephoto Lens uses a ring-type USM, high-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed approximately 1.8x faster than the original. The high-speed AF and circular aperture create a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings. The floating optical system, which includes an aspherical lens element, suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance.

Excellent lens, warning to beginners
Using for Photography AND Videography and saving a fortune!
Wow, what a lens! I have personally only taken some test shots with my Canon 5dMk3, but even those looked great. I have a really good friend that I loan out my photo gear to and he had photo shoot of a young boy for modeling. The photos were amazing, he used my lens and his 24-70 and 70-200 and you can tell shots with the 85mm! It’s hard to express just how clean and clear the photos look. The other two lens are quality Canon L glass, but nothing beats a Prime lens like this one. The f1.2 gives you the ability to focus on the closest eye and let the focus roll off around the face as it gets to the hair line. Stopping down a little to get more depth of field still produced amazing photos. This thing is big and actually makes the camera with the lens on front heavy. Not enough to fall over, buts it’s the shortest-heaviest lens I now own. I personally hate the lens pouch that Canon ships with lens like this (8-15mm, 16-35. etc.) have the same dumb pouch. I decided that since I don’t carry this…
