Canon has released the RF 85mm F1. 2 L USM lens, a medium telephoto lens that's the first RF lens to feature Canon's Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) Optics. It will sell with a recommended price of $2699.

There's no news of the DS 'Defocus Smoothing' variant Canon has said is in development.

The lens features a new optical design compared to the EF version of the 85mm F1. 2 II USM lens that includes one Aspherical element, one Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass element and the aforementioned BR optics, which is placed between the concave and convex lenses and is designed to eliminate chromatic aberration. In total, it contains 13 elements in 9 groups. Canon has also included its Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which helps to minimize lens flare and ghosting.

The RF 85mm F1. 2 L USM lens has an aperture range of F1. 2 through F16, a minimum focus distance of 85cm (2. 79ft), an 82mm front filter thread and is weather-resistant with a dedicated fluorine coating. Like other RF lenses, the RF 85mm F1. 2 features a customizable control ring at the front of the lens that can be used to adjust exposure compensation, aperture, ISO or shutter speed.

Below are three full-resolution sample photos provided by Canon:

The lens measures in at 10. 4cm (4. 1") diameter, 11. 6cm (4. 6") long and it weighs 1. 2kg (2. 6lbs). Compared to its EF counterpart, it's both wider, longer and heavier.

The Canon RF 85mm F1. 2 L USM lens is currently available to pre-order (Adorama, B&H) for $2,699 and is set to ship in June 2019.

Lensrentals tears down the Canon 600mm F11 IS STM

Roger and Aaron of Lensrentals are back with a new lens teardown, the Canon 600mm F11 IS STM.
