RF85mm f/1.2L USM DS - RF Lens World - Canon South & Southeast Asia

Canon's unique Defocus Smoothing (DS) coating* enhances the subject in portrait photography, enabling the RF85mm f/1.2L USM lens to produce a more aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect, while maintaining the integrity of the optical system. DS coating is a deposition technique that gradually decreases the amount of light passing through the lens by progressively obstructing the radiation of light from the centre to the edges. The DS coating enhances the aesthetic quality of subject images by producing a velvety and aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect through the softening and blurring of outlines. Furthermore, apart from its exceptional imaging capabilities, the lens also excels in terms of ease of use, sturdiness, protection against dust and water, and other attributes, ensuring a comfortable experience and long-lasting durability. This lens is optimal for photographers who strive for the utmost excellence in portrait photography.

* The DS coating lower transmittance toward the lens periphery, so lens brightness at maximum aperture is approximately 1⅓ stop darker than at f/1.2. By updating the camera firmware to the latest version, exposure control in AE will operate properly.
