Product details

The EF 85mm f/1.2L USM II represents the highest standard of Canon precision optics. The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens series: an attractive combination of outstanding imaging performance
and ease of use. L-series lenses are also extremely well protected against dust and moisture.

Large aperture of 1:1.2

With a maximum light intensity of 1:1.2, sufficient brightness is quickly provided even in low light conditions without having to resort to the flash. The large aperture also allows for precise depth of field adjustment - ideal for portraits.

Attractive reproduction in the blurred area

When working with selective sharpness, a circular iris diaphragm contributes to aesthetically pleasing reproduction in the blurred area (bokeh effect).

Fast, quiet automatic focusing

The ring-shaped USM (ultrasonic motor) provides almost silently for a super fast adjustment movement. A fast CPU and optimized AF algorithms also contribute to the high speed of focusing; excellent holding torque prevents inaccuracies. If desired, electronic focusing can also be performed manually at any time.

Auch wenn das Objektiv abgeblendet extrem gute Werte liefert und dabei eine tolle Auflösung erreicht, ist das Ganze eher gut als gelungen. Bei einem Modell das knapp 2.000 Euro kostet darf man sicherlich mehr erwarten. Dennoch ist das Canon exzellent verarbeitet und bietet richtig angewandt sehr gute Aufnahmen.

  • Negativewiegt rund 1 kg

Das Canon Objektiv bietet besonders Fotografen, die im Portraitbereich tätig sind absolute Spitzenwerte. Besonders die hohe Lichtstärke und die gute Performance bringen ihr top Noten ein, was allerdings auch seinen Preis hat. Da viel Glas verbaut wurde, idt es auch nicht sonderlich leicht und so bringt das Gerät rund 1 kg auf die Waage.
