Outstanding portraits with DS coating

Great for portrait, wedding, and fashion imagery, the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS lens, with Defocus Smoothing (DF), provides an even smoother bokeh and rendering of out-of-focus highlights than the non-DS version of the RF 85mm lens. This enables you to achieve significant softness of outlines so that your subject really stands out.

  • Steady shots hand-held or in low light

    Shoot with confidence even when light levels drop. The RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is designed to work in conjunction with an EOS R series camera, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to reduce camera-shake blur. With up to 5 stops of Image Stabilization, it delivers impressively clear results when shooting handheld.

  • Intuitive control at your fingertips

    The RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM features a lens control ring for customisable control over shutter speed, ISO or exposure compensation. The easy-to-identify textured surface gives you tangible feedback to adjust while looking through the viewfinder and concentrating on your subject.

*Disclaimers

1. In order to use this lens with the EOS R or EOS RP, a compatible version of firmware is required. Download the latest camera firmware and install it on your camera.

2. Since the transmittance of the lens periphery decreases due to the DS coating, brightness of the lens at maximum aperture is about 1 𝟏/𝟑 stops darker than f/1.2. By updating the camera to the latest firmware, exposure control in AE will be performed appropriately.
