The EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is a high-performance medium telephoto lens with exceptional optical quality. Thanks to its excellent control over depth of field, it is ideal for portrait photography. The high aperture of f/1.4 makes this lens from Canon's professional L series the perfect choice for shooting in a variety of lighting conditions – from flattering portraits to dynamic lifestyle shots, it delivers outstanding results even in low light. The 4-stop image stabilizer compensates for camera shake, ensuring sharp images in all situations. As part of Canon's flagship professional L series, the lens is particularly robust and protected against dust and splashes.

... When stopped down, the resolution is excellent and there is nothing to criticise about the contrast - neither at f/2.8 nor at f/5.6. The 1.4/85 mm is therefore recommended. The resolution is not comparable with the measurement of the Canon RF 1.2/85 mm (below), as the resolutions of the test cameras are too different.
