Canon RF 85mm F1.2L USM review
(Digital Photography Review)
 


Introduction $(document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({`galleryId`:`0450282494`,`isMobile`:false}) }) 92%Overall scoreJump to conclusion Since the launch of the EOS R line in 2018, Canon has mostly concentrated its attentions on high-end RF lenses. And the lens we`re looking at here is likely to be one of the most coveted RF-mount optics, partly because of its classic portrait-friendly focal length and super-wide aperture, but also because Canon bills it as having the finest optical performance of any autofocus-enabled 85mm lens the company has ever released.

Despite its size and weight, the lens has been designed with just 13 elements in nine groups, although some of these are necessarily quite large. They include a single ground aspherical element to keep spherical aberration and corn ...
