According to our camera lens expert
De Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM II is a portrait lens with a large maximum aperture of f/1.2. The large aperture ensures a beautiful background blur and makes your subject stand out from the background. The large aperture also allows you to take photographs by hand in dark environments. The lens uses the Ultra Sonic Motor for a quick and precise focus. This autofocus is extremely silent, so you can also use this lens for recording, for example. The lens belongs to Canon's L-series, which means it's sealed against dust and humidity. This way you can keep taking pictures in all weather conditions.

This is a special piece of glass. I have a whole set of L lenses from Canon, this prime is the best. Okay 1.2 is already very different.
I read in some reviews that the focus speed is slow. That's relative. This is only true if your subject is more than 4 meters away from the previous photo. This does not occur in practice.
I recently tested a Hasselblad and believe me, this lens is a lot faster.
Definitely worth the money for me. Was hesitant to order online at first. Have to say it is perfectly cared for and delivered. And no, I'm not getting paid to write this.

An incredibly beautiful lens, with a beautiful bouqet. Beautiful in its blur, especially for portraits a must. Price is usually a hurdle, but it's worth it!

This lens takes some getting used to at first but if you're used to them .. you don't want anything else focuses perfectly where you want it just a shame about the high purchase price otherwise perfect..
