    Still the King of Portrait Lens

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 30, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Canon RF 85mm 1.2 lens is seriously a game-changer! It's like the king of portrait lens, capturing insane detail and making every shot look professionally done. The bokeh? Absolutely dreamy, giving that perfect blurred background that makes your subject pop. It nails focus super quickly and silently, catching those awesome moments without a fuss. Even in low light, this lens is a champ, letting you snap away without losing any of that amazing quality. Yeah, it's a bit of a splurge, but man, the results speak for themselves. Every shot is just a work of art with this thing. Totally worth the investment for the epic boost in photo quality and those stunning portraits you're gonna get. If you're all about capturing those perfect moments with top-notch clarity and beauty, this lens is the way to go. It’s like having a little magic in your camera bag, ready to make every shot breathtaking.

    It doesn't get better than this!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 13, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Canon far outdid themselves with this lens. Yes, it may be pricey, but until you've shot with this lens and seen what it can do, you haven't experienced sharpness before. As soon as you take it out of the box, you know you're dealing with a quality product. The weight is perfect to feel like a proper quality lens without being overbearing or difficult to use. I don't know what Canon coated the lens barrel with, but I can't seem to scratch or scuff it at all. Fingernails, rings, cat claws, it doesn't matter. I simply wipe the barrel off with my shirt and its brand new again. Mount it to your camera and the magic begins. Even just messing around with it, the sharpness, colors, and bokeh quality are immediately apparent. But the pièce de résistance is by far the sharpness capability of this masterwork. I thought I was buying an 85mm lens, but I've actually come to find that this is a 85-150mm lens. The extent that I can crop my images and still arrive at a usable photo is astounding. I can crop 3:1 and still get a sharper image from this 85mm than I ever could out of my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM without any cropping. Oh, and chromatic aberration just doesn't exist with this lens. I could talk for days about the sharpness, but I'll leave it with that. In summary, yes, it is expensive, but there is no flaw with this lens in any aspect. And as camera technology continues to advance, this lens will only get better. To any portrait, wedding, studio photographer or anyone simply looking for as sharp a lens as possible, this lens needs to be in your bag. You won't regret it.

    My new "one lens" to rule them all

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 6, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my eye on this lens since I first got my R5. It is my first RF lens. I'd be using my adapter with my EF lenses no problem. But it was time for an upgrade. After trying to stomach the price tag for 6 months I decided to jump on it. Well, it took me about .2 seconds to realize this is truly an incredible piece of equipment. I could not be happier with my purchase. It is so incredibly sharp on your focal point but also somehow gorgeously creamy. Just do it. Save your pennies. It is 100% worth the price tag.

    Tack sharp

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 28, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's often said that camera lenses are "tack sharp"... This is the first time that signifier actually makes sense. This thing is a beast and the sharpest lens I've ever seen. If you've got the money, do it...

    Worth every penny

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 1, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this lens! 85mm has been my go to focal length for several years however my other 85mm lenses I have owned just never quite lived up to my expectations. The chromatic aberrations on those lenses along with other image quality issues that are common with cheap glass made it difficult to use in certain lighting situations. This lens solved all those issues and renewed my love for this focal length. The images it produces are razor sharp and free of all those other issues. The focus is extremely fast and accurate and works extremely well in all light. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to overcome these types of issues. It was definitely worth the higher price.
