description
Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM Lens
Complementing the imaging capabilities is an apt ring-type Ultrasonic Motor, which delivers fast, near-silent autofocus and full-time manual focus override. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself.
Portrait-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras.
Exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.
Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element virtually eliminates color fringing and chromatic aberrations by refracting shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum (blue light).
One aspherical element and one UD element also help to control aberrations and distortions for sharper, clearer image quality.
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.
Ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms, a high-speed CPU, and an internal focusing design, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
Rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Ultimate portrait lens
Loved the EF version and love this RF version even more. It's sharp, fast, and has amazing bokeh. This version has much more character wide open than the DS version IMO.

Sharp, quick, and amazing
First thing first: this lens is not cheap. I’m using an EOS R and this lens is easily more than twice as much as my camera. But this is quality and you get what you pay for.
The pictures come out crispy sharp, the backgrounds melt away because of the 1.8 aperture size, and the 85mm focal length creates a style that I’m in love with. It flattens the background, gives subjects a flattering look, and melts away everything not in focus. For picture quality, this is my absolute go to lens for everything. If it wasn’t for the size and the tight focal length, this would be everyday lens (but trust me, despite this I still try and make it my daily lens).
Downsides:
This is fat. Chunky. Huge. To the point where it makes me question whether it will eventually snap off the camera. Fortunately it hasn’t happened, but it is something that gets a bit heavy to handle.
Because of the tight focal length and the fact that it’s a prime lens, you might not have many opportunities to use this.

It doesn't get better than this!
Canon far outdid themselves with this lens. Yes, it may be pricey, but until you've shot with this lens and seen what it can do, you haven't experienced sharpness before.
As soon as you take it out of the box, you know you're dealing with a quality product. The weight is perfect to feel like a proper quality lens without being overbearing or difficult to use. I don't know what Canon coated the lens barrel with, but I can't seem to scratch or scuff it at all. Fingernails, rings, cat claws, it doesn't matter. I simply wipe the barrel off with my shirt and its brand new again.
Mount it to your camera and the magic begins. Even just messing around with it, the sharpness, colors, and bokeh quality are immediately apparent.
But the pièce de résistance is by far the sharpness capability of this masterwork. I thought I was buying an 85mm lens, but I've actually come to find that this is a 85-150mm lens. The extent that I can crop my images and still arrive at a usable photo is astounding. I can crop 3:1 and still get a sharper image from this 85mm than I ever could out of my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM without any cropping. Oh, and chromatic aberration just doesn't exist with this lens. I could talk for days about the sharpness, but I'll leave it with that.
In summary, yes, it is expensive, but there is no flaw with this lens in any aspect. And as camera technology continues to advance, this lens will only get better. To any portrait, wedding, studio photographer or anyone simply looking for as sharp a lens as possible, this lens needs to be in your bag. You won't regret it.

My new "one lens" to rule them all
I've had my eye on this lens since I first got my R5. It is my first RF lens. I'd be using my adapter with my EF lenses no problem. But it was time for an upgrade. After trying to stomach the price tag for 6 months I decided to jump on it. Well, it took me about .2 seconds to realize this is truly an incredible piece of equipment. I could not be happier with my purchase. It is so incredibly sharp on your focal point but also somehow gorgeously creamy. Just do it. Save your pennies. It is 100% worth the price tag.
