Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM Lens

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM Lens stands out with its speedy design and impressive image stabilization capabilities, making it an ideal choice for portrait photography. Its L-series status highlights a high-quality optical layout, which incorporates a single glass-molded aspherical element that effectively minimizes spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in sharper, clearer images. Additionally, the lens features an Air Sphere coating (ASC) on its individual elements to effectively reduce lens flare and ghosting, ensuring superb contrast and color accuracy even in challenging backlit conditions.

• EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
• Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/22
• One Aspherical Element
• Air Sphere Coating
• Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System
• Optical Image Stabilization
• Weather-Sealed Design, Fluorine Coating
• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

In addition to its high-quality optics, this lens features a powerful four-stop optical image stabilization system that reduces camera shake for improved handheld shooting. It also boasts a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, precise autofocus and full-time manual focus override for more precise adjustments. Plus, like all L-series lenses, this 85mm f/1.4 is built to withstand dust and weather and is coated with fluorine to protect against harsh environmental conditions.

• Portrait-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 136mm equivalent focal length.
• Notably fast f/1.4 maximum aperture offers extensive control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques. This bright design also benefits working in low-light conditions.
• One glass-molded aspherical element helps to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and clarity.
• An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) has been applied to lens elements to reduce backlit flaring and ghosting for maintained light transmission and high contrast in strong lighting conditions.
• A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
• Optical image stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake by compensating for up to four stops of shutter speed.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
• As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.
• Fluorine-coating on exposed elements affords protection to the optical system, resists smudging and fingerprints, and is easier to clean.
