This lens stands out primarily for its high aperture value — 1.2 — which is especially noteworthy given its focal length — 85 mm. Designed for use in Canon systems with Full frame matrices, claimed by the manufacturer as a specialized optic for portrait shooting. Autofocus is provided by an ultrasonic motor. Another notable feature is the integration with EOS cameras' E-TTL II flash systems. Comes with hood.

The second version of the deluxe portrait prime with a focal length of 85mm and a maximum aperture of f/1.2 leaves a strong impression. All thanks to the amazingly soft rendering of the image and the creation of fabulous bokeh — it is simply impossible not to reward the lens design with flattering words.
Giant
The optical scheme of the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM includes a set of large and heavy lenses, which is why the lens has rather big dimensions and weighs more than 1 kg. In tandem with small "carcasses" (for example, Canon EOS 6D), the lens shifts the camera's centre of gravity in its direction. The problem is solved by installing a battery grip or using a more advanced and heavier camera (like Canon EOS 1D X Mark II or Canon EOS 5D Mark IV).
autofocus
Another consequence of the large elements in the design of the lens is the slow work of autofocus — it is simply difficult for him to move the lens group to ensure fast focus. Nevertheless, in unhurried conditions, the autofocus system performs very well, reliably clinging to the subject in a wide variety of lighting conditions.
Electronic ring
On the massive body of the lens there is an AF / MF autofocus mode switch, a distance scale and an electronic focus ring. There is no mechanical interface between the drive of the autofocus system and the ring on the body — when manually focus, turning the ring activates signal transmission to the ultrasonic motor, which moves the lenses.
attractiveness
Aperture f / 1.2 is a working lens. But when shooting on such an open hole, one should take into account the possible manifestation of vignetting effects and chromatic aberrations in the form of green-violet halos at the boundaries of high-contrast image transitions. These shortcomings are easy to overcome at the stage of post-processing of the image, especially since the rest of the picture is so attractive that it will practically not require further intervention by the retoucher. But what you will definitely need is to save up a significant amount to purchase a lens, which will more than pay off in the future thanks to the unique style of drawing the image.
"Canon announces the launch of the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM, a new professional L-series lens with top performance and unrivaled speed. Featuring the widest aperture of any Canon EF lens to date, the EF 85mm f /1.2L II USM gives you full control over depth of field and ensures excellent performance in low light conditions.The new lens delivers faster autofocus and replaces the popular EF 85mm f/1.2L USM.Like other L-series models, the lens The EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is built with precision optics and meets the highest standards.
The design of the L series lenses
Canon's flagship professional lenses, the L-series lenses meet the requirements of the most demanding photographers. The superior optical quality of the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM and other L-series lenses delivers unparalleled shooting performance, focal length, speed and image quality unmatched by traditional optical technologies.
Portrait shooting
The combination of a near-circular aperture for optimal reproduction of background tones (by evenly blurring out-of-focus areas) and a low depth of field at the widest aperture makes this model perfect for portrait and studio shooting. The f/1.2 aperture allows photographers to achieve vivid portrait effects, such as sharpening the model's eyes and blurring the tips of the lashes.
Shooting in low light conditions
Canon's largest aperture value (f/1.2) of any modern lens makes it possible to shoot in low-light conditions without resorting to flash or long exposures. The improved autofocus speed achieved by the latest Ring Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is sure to make this lens a favorite among professional indoor sports photographers. Thanks to the use of ultrasonic motor (USM), which fixes the lens with high precision, it ensures the correct focus on the object on the first try. Electronic manual focus is also available at any time¹. The wide aperture of the lens, and the resulting full control of the depth of field, gives sports photographers the ability to simply use the blur effect, if necessary, to "remove" tribunes with spectators, billboards and other background objects that distract attention from objects in the foreground. plan.
aspherical lens
Wide aperture lenses using conventional lenses are often subject to spherical aberrations, which cause overall colour softening and "smearing" of the image. The EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM features a large, variable-curvature aspherical lens and moving element to ensure full image clarity and in-focus contrast across the entire focus range, as well as at wide apertures.
Super Spectra Coating
In addition to an improved lens shape to reduce stray light and the use of non-reflective materials in the lens barrel, the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM features Canon's patented Super Spectra lens coating. This coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections and ghosting that often occur when using digital cameras due to light reflecting off the image sensor. By increasing light absorption, the Super Spectra coating reduces the reflective effect of the lenses, resulting in brighter, sharper images in natural colours.
E-TTL II flash system integration
The EF 85mm f/1.2 II USM transmits distance information to the subject with the E-TTL II flash system found on all modern EOS digital cameras; this achieves more accurate exposure metering when using EX-series Speedlites.
The EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM comes with a cylindrical lens hood and a lens case.
In keeping with Canon's "Kyosei" philosophy of living in harmony with the environment, Canon lenses are made only from lead-free glass."
