85MM F/1.2L USM DS OVERVIEW
Prioritizing
bokeh, the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS is a unique portrait-length prime,
characterized by its flattering focal length, exceptionally bright maximum
aperture, and advanced optical design. Differentiating itself from Canon's
other RF 85mm f/1.2 lens, this version features a DS (Defocus Smoothing)
coating that helps to soften and smooth the bokeh quality when working at wider
aperture settings, making it particularly suitable for shallow depth of field
applications. Beyond
the bokeh-optimized design, the optical layout of this lens incorporates a Blue
Spectrum Refractive Optics element; a specially developed element that helps to
nearly eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing for notable clarity
and color accuracy. In addition to this, an ultra-low dispersion element and
one aspherical element are also featured to further control various aberrations
and distortion for great sharpness and resolution. Individual elements also
feature an Air Sphere Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for high contrast
and color fidelity when working in bright and backlit conditions. 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.
- Defocus
Smoothing coating helps to achieve an especially soft and smooth bokeh quality
when working at wide aperture positions. While this coating softens the look
and feel of the out-of-focus regions in an image, sharpness is still retained
on the in-focus portions for noticeable subject separation and an overall
three-dimensional quality. The effect is greatest when working at f/1.2,
however the DS coating requires approximately 1.3 stops more exposure than the
standard version of the lens when shooting wide open. By f/3.2, the two
versions of the lens have nearly identical light transmission and performance.
- 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.
