Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM Camera Lens

With a superb combination of optics, performance, advanced features and a durable design, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is an outstanding L-series medium-telephoto lens. As Canon’s first 85mm L-series lens with IS capability, it has an advanced optical formula with a large-diameter aspherical lens, plus a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture to deliver gorgeous, sharp and detailed images suitable for virtually any application. 

Built-In Image Stabilization 

Its versatile combination of built-in image stabilization and its sophisticated design make it perfect for handheld use even in harsh environments. Ideal for portraiture and creating a natural sense of distance between the user and the subject with a variety of scenes and subjects, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is engineered to perform and deliver the results photographers desire. 

Large, Bright f/1.4 Aperture

The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM features a large f/1.4 maximum aperture, which produces a shallow depth of field for beautiful background blur, captures at a fast shutter speed, a bright viewfinder image as well as easy operation in low-light situations. Combined with its built-in IS, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM helps capture images in a variety of environments where other lenses may require the use of a flash or alternate lighting source.

Image Stabilization at up to 4 Stops of Shake Correction

For consistently sharp results, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM features an Image Stabilizer system that provides significant shake reduction for up to 4 shutter speed steps. This helps provide reliable handheld performance and clear image detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs. Because of Image Stabilization, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.

GMo Aspherical Lens with Air Sphere Coating Technology

The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is engineered to help render crisp and clear images. For high-contrast images that remain sharp from corner to corner of the composition, it features a molded glass (GMo) aspherical lens, and the Image Stabilizer lens is coated with Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology for significantly reduced flare and ghosting from reflected light. 

Dust- and Water-resistant Professional-grade Design

Built to L-series specifications, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM not only offers optical excellence but is designed to perform in even the most challenging environments. It delivers a dust- and water-resistant construction with seals around the switch panel, the focus rings and the mount. 

The surface of the lens even features a smudge-resistant fluorine coating that repels water and oil and can easily be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Circular Aperture (9 blades) for Beautiful Bokeh

Thanks to its 9-blade, circular aperture, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is capable of gorgeous, evocative out-of-focus areas and soft backgrounds. With an incredible level of control over background blur, the 9-blade circular aperture helps create intimacy and intensity in both photos and videos for impactful results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Glass You really need to decide upon your focus point when using it wide open.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent lens Excelent portrait lens, I also use it for some landscape picture. Auto focus is very fast, and the picture is very sharp. Overall I like the image quality of the lens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I dreamed of! This lens is the best lens I've ever owned. It is so sharp and the autofocus is super fast. I couldn't be happier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Value I am not a professional, but could tell immediately the professional quality of this lens. It ads a new dimension in composition with its extremely shallow depth of field. Automatic focus is truly a snap. I've shot outdoor portraits of grandchildren and the outcomes are brilliant. Couldn't be more pleased with this lens. Price is relative when considering how often you will use this lens and the quality of the resulting pictures.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy smokes. I rented this lens a week ago. I was weary about purchasing such a weighty lens(both literal weight and price-wise.) Long story short, I bought this lens after my first shoot. I ended up really loving the weight of the lens! The autofocus is silent and super pristine. It will be a great addition to my business! I couldn't be more impressed with Canon!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful Lens! Quite simply...this is an outstanding lens. Typical Canon quality I have come to expect after shooting Canon for 30+ years. This is a marked improvement over the 85mm 1.2 II. Lighter, and faster focusing, not to mention the added Image Stabilization...a great tool to have. I do not notice much of a loss of Bokeh from the 1.2 to 1.4 f stop. Color and Contrast are wonderful! The IS really works as I can typically shoot handheld down to 1/25 or 1/15 with no issues. Adding this to my 5D MKIV or my EOS R makes a perfect walking around lens, and for studio use it really shines. Add this lens to your gear, you won't be disappointed.
