One UD Element

A must-have lens for stunning, high-quality imagery.

Ideal 85mm Focal Length for Portraits

The classic 85mm focal length offers a flattering perspective with natural compression, perfect for capturing intimate and expressive portraits with comfortable working distances.

Bright f/2 Maximum Aperture

The wide f/2 aperture excels in low-light conditions, allowing for faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings. It also produces beautifully soft, creamy background blur (bokeh) that effectively isolates your subject.

0.5x (1:2) Macro Magnification

Get up close and personal with your subjects. With a minimum focusing distance of just 35cm (1.15 ft) and a 0.5x magnification ratio, this lens allows for impressive semi-macro capabilities, revealing fine details in flowers, products, or intricate textures.

5-Stop Hybrid Image Stabilisation (IS)

Benefit from highly effective optical image stabilisation, offering up to 5 stops of shake correction. This revolutionary Hybrid IS technology specifically compensates for both angular and shift camera shake, crucial for achieving sharp results during close-up macro shooting and handheld photography in challenging light.

Smooth and Quiet STM Autofocus: The Stepping Motor (STM) provides fast, precise, and remarkably quiet autofocus performance, ideal for both stills photography and seamless video recording without distracting operational noises.

Customisable Control Ring

A signature feature of RF lenses, the programmable Control Ring allows you to directly adjust common exposure settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation from the lens barrel itself, streamlining your workflow.

Excellent Optical Design

Comprising 12 elements in 11 groups, including one UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) element, the lens effectively corrects chromatic aberrations and ensures high clarity and sharpness across the frame.

Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

The 9-blade rounded aperture contributes to a very pleasing bokeh quality, creating smooth, aesthetically appealing out-of-focus areas.

Compact & Lightweight Design

Weighing approximately 500g and with compact dimensions, this lens is designed for portability, balancing exceptionally well on Canon's mirrorless EOS R camera bodies, making it perfect for travel and everyday shooting.

Super Spectra Coating

Canon's advanced Super Spectra Coating minimises ghosting and flare, ensuring clear, high-contrast images even when shooting in backlit conditions.
