The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens is the widest aperture lens Canon currently makes (update: now the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens shares this aperture) - allowing handholding and action stopping in the darkest conditions. The background blur ...
The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens retains the 72mm filter size of the original 85 L. It also uses the same lens hood and lens pouch. Both the ES-79 II and the LP1219 lens pouch are included with this lens. The clip-on lens hood is very easy to ...

Amazing image quality f/1.2 aperture. f/1.2 aperture. (I know I said already but it's so good I'm saying it twice!) Beautiful isolation of subject from background. Beautiful smooth unbeatable bokeh. Solid weather sealed build. Superb lens flare control es...
Slow focus compared to L lenses or 50mm f/1.4 & 85mm f/1.8. 72mm Filter not standard size for L lenses (Except 135 and 180 I suppose). Cost is huge compared to 85mm f/1.8 which is a d*** fine lens also.
