    Portrait-Length Prime for Hybrid Creators

    Built with versatility in mind, this lens is equally at home for photographers and videographers. Its bright f/1.4 aperture ensures beautiful subject isolation with shallow depth of field, while the optical and mechanical design minimizes focus breathing for smooth transitions in video. Silent, customizable controls make it a reliable tool for modern hybrid workflows.

    Optimized for Photo

    • 85mm focal length is ideal for portraiture, offering flattering compression and strong subject-background separation.
    • Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows excellent low-light performance and control over depth of field.
    • Advanced optical design includes one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element and one aspherical element to minimize aberrations.
    • Air Sphere Coating (ASC) and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast.
    • Rounded 11-blade diaphragm creates soft, natural-looking bokeh.

    Optimized for Video

    • Slightly long focal length provides ideal framing for close-ups, two-camera setups, and selective composition.
    • Manual aperture ring with de-click switch enables smooth, silent iris pulls for cinematic transitions.
    • Exceptional control of focus breathing maintains consistent composition while racking focus.
    • Linear focus motor ensures intuitive and responsive manual focus operation.
    • Consistent Hybrid lens series design with 67mm filter ring for easy multi-lens workflows.

    VCM Autofocus

    • Voice Coil Motor (VCM) provides fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus—ideal for both photo and video.
    • Close-up capability with 2.5 ft (0.75 m) minimum focusing distance and 0.12x magnification.
    • AF/MF switch and full-time manual focus override for precise creative control.

    Design Details

    • Compact and lightweight at 3 x 3.9" (77.5 x 99.3 mm) and 1.4 lb (645 g), balancing well on modern mirrorless bodies.
    • Customizable Control Ring and Function Button for direct access to key shooting settings.
    • L-Series construction with robust weather sealing for reliable performance in challenging environments.
    • Unified design across Canon’s Hybrid series primes, ensuring easy rigging and lens swaps on multi-camera setups.
