Review Summary

Reader Score: 9.25 (out of 10)

Review: "The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens is the widest aperture lens Canon currently makes - allowing handholding and action stopping in the darkest conditions. The background blur capable of being produced by the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens is stunning.

With improved AF speed, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens is destined to be the choice of many as their indoor sports lens of choice. If 85mm is the focal length you need, this lens will capture your subject against a smoothly blurred background much better than any other available lens close to this focal length. The crowd will become a colorful blur while the basketball player is frozen in action. There is a significant difference in the background blur at f/1.2 compared to f/1.8 or higher. There is a 2x difference in shutter speeds at these two wide open apertures."
