Distinguished by its fast design and IS capabilities the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM from Canon is a short telephoto prime well-suited to portraiture applications. As an L-series lens it is characterized by a sophisticated optical layout that includes one glass-molded aspherical element to greatly reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and clarity. Individual elements also feature an Air Sphere coating ASC to suppress lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity in backlit situations. Complementing the optical attributes this lens also incorporates a four stop-effective optical image stabilization system that minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor USM also affords quick and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override for fine-tuned control. Additionally as with all L-series lenses this 85mm f/1.4 has a dust- and weather-resistant construction as well as a fluorine coating on exposed elements to benefit its use in harsh environmental conditions.
