Unparalleled accuracy

From the moment I installed the Canon RF 85mm 1:1.2L USM DS on my camera, I knew I had been ruined. The lenses are a hallmark of the L series from Canon, offering exceptional processing quality that makes my hands unbearable. Advanced optical design with blue spectral refraction (BR) lens elements effectively minimizes color anomalies, providing crisp and vibrant images even under challenging lighting conditions. The impressive 1:1.2 aperture allows you to shoot with breathtaking background blur and truly emphasize your portrait.
Performance-wise, this lens is a game changer. Autofocus is extremely important for taking fleeting moments thanks to the USM engine, thanks to its quick, quiet and incredible. The lens is great in poor lighting conditions and creates photos with minimal noise and excellent detail. DS coating (defocused smoothing) improves the separation of subjects and adds a nice, smooth bokeh to my portraits that gives the quality of a professional and film that I absolutely adore.
Using this lens has improved my photography experience. The sharpness on the frame is exceptional, and it's open even at 1:1.2, and the beautiful rendering of the skin tone makes it perfect for portraits. I also experimented with creative recordings, notably experimenting with the ability of the lenses to separate subjects and at the same time maintaining exquisite background softness. It is a versatile lens that distinguishes both the studio and the external environment, providing consistent, high quality results.
It exceeds my expectations. Combining excellent optical capabilities, robust construction and breathtaking aesthetics, it makes a valuable investment for a serious photographer. Whether you're shooting portraits, fashion or artistic recordings, this lens offers breathtaking photos with ease and grace. I recommend this to anyone who wants to take their photos to the next level.
