Key Features

Exceptional Optical Performance

• 85mm Focal Length: The 85mm focal length is perfect for portraits, offering flattering compression and a natural perspective that emphasizes your subject.
• Bright f/1.2 Aperture: The wide f/1.2 aperture allows for stunning depth-of-field control, excellent low-light performance, and beautiful background blur.

Defocus Smoothing (DS) Technology

Advanced Optical Design

• Aspherical and UD Elements: Incorporates an aspherical element and Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, ensuring sharp and clear images across the frame.
• Air Sphere Coating (ASC): Reduces ghosting and flare, providing high contrast and color fidelity even in challenging lighting conditions.

Fast and Accurate Autofocus

• Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM): Provides fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance, making it ideal for both stills and video.
• Customizable Control Ring: Offers added convenience by allowing you to adjust settings such as aperture, shutter speed, or ISO directly on the lens.
