Canon EF 85mm 85mm f/1.2 Telephoto lens

Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of the original Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L lens, this revamped medium telephoto lens employs a ring-type Ultra Sonic Motor (USM), high-speed CPU, and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed that's approximately 1.8x faster than the original. This high-speed autofocus system combines with the circular aperture to create a shallow depth of field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, an ideal effect for portraits and weddings. In addition, the lens's floating optical system includes an aspherical lens element that suppresses aberrations and produces an excellent imaging performance. Specifications Focal length: 85mm Maximum aperture: f/1.2 Lens construction: 8 elements in 7 groups Angle of view: 28 degrees @ 30 feet Focus adjustment: Autofocus with full-time manual Closest focusing distance: 3.2 feet Filter size: 72mm Dimensions: 3.6 inches in diameter and 3.3 inches long Weight: 36.2 ounces Warranty: 1 year more
