CANON Camera Lens RF85mm F1.2 L USM [Canon RF /Single Focal Length Lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

A large-aperture medium telephoto single focal length lens with a maximum aperture of 1.2 F value, pursuing the highest level of performance in terms of descriptive performance, operability, and robustness.

The highest level of image quality among Canon interchangeable lenses with a focal length of 85mm

- The large mount diameter of 54mm, the same as that of the EF mount, and the short back focus of the RF mount, which is unique to mirrorless cameras, allow for a high degree of freedom in lens design, resulting in the highest level of image quality among Canon's 85mm focal length interchangeable lenses.

- The large aperture of 1.2 allows the photographer to enjoy large, beautiful bokeh effects. The lens is also suitable for dark scenes such as nighttime and indoors, as it allows for faster shutter speeds to minimize blurring.

- Optical design with 13 elements in 9 groups, including 1 BR lens (composed of BR optical elements sandwiched between concave and convex glass lenses), 1 UD lens, and 1 ground aspherical lens with special optical materials. By placing a lens with a large aperture close to the camera's imaging surface, the lens achieves both high specifications and high image quality with a focal length of 85mm and a maximum aperture of F value of 1.2.

- The minimum focusing distance of 0.85m is achieved. This allows you to get close to the subject and take attractive close-up shots with beautiful bokeh effect.

Canon's proprietary "BR Lens" and other optical systems significantly suppress chromatic aberration.

- The BR lens is a Canon original composite lens that consists of a concave-convex glass lens sandwiching a BR (Blue Spectrum Refractive) optical element, an organic optical material developed based on a review of the molecular structure design of the lens material. The BR optical element has a special dispersion characteristic that significantly refracts blue light (in the short wavelength range), making it possible to focus the entire wavelength range of visible light, which was previously difficult to focus to a single point, to a single point without limit, achieving an extremely high level of chromatic aberration correction.

- The combination of Canon's proprietary BR and UD lenses significantly suppresses color blurring that tends to appear in large-aperture lenses and achieves an extremely high level of chromatic aberration correction.

- ASC (Air Sphere Coating), a special coating technology, is employed. This suppresses flare and ghosting, which can cause image quality degradation.

Control Ring" for comfortable operation

- In addition to the focus ring, the camera is equipped with a control ring that can be assigned to any desired setting, such as exposure compensation or aperture value. The control ring can be operated while checking the image after shooting through the electronic viewfinder (EVF) for more intuitive and comfortable operation.

High durability, vibration shock resistance, and other reliability features

- The mount, switch panel, control ring, and focus ring are dustproof and drip-proof*.

(*Although the construction is designed to be dustproof and drip-proof, it cannot completely prevent the intrusion of sand, dust, water droplets, etc.)

- The mechanical structure inside the lens barrel has been redesigned to achieve high durability and vibration/shock resistance.

- The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a fluorine coating to prevent oil and water droplets from adhering to the lens. Oil and other contaminants adhering to the lens can be easily removed with a dry cloth without the use of solvents.

Excellent resolving power from a maximum aperture of F1.2

Various types of aberrations are well corrected by the large aperture mount and the latest optical design. From a maximum aperture of F1.2, the lens delivers high resolution and high contrast throughout the entire image range.

With a maximum aperture of F1.2 and a large aperture lens, ideal portrait photography is possible. This focal length and F value are unique in their ability to create beautifully large bokeh while maintaining a solid focus.

The brightness of F1.2 also has the advantage of allowing the shutter speed to be reduced in dark scenes to minimize subject blur and camera shake, and also allows shooting at lower ISO sensitivity.
