Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Autofocus Telephoto Lens - USA Warranty - Includes Cleaning Kit - Capleash II

Description

Large f/1.8 aperture A large maximum aperture of f/1.8 lets photographers shoot hand-held in difficult, low-light conditions, as well as restrict depth-of-field for creative effects. A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out-of-focus regions a softer, more even feel, and lets in-focus subjects stand out against a blurred background. Since the front lens group does not rotate during focusing special filter effects are not affected. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability. Compressed perspective in portraiture The short telephoto focal length of the lens slightly compresses perspective, reducing the size of prominent facial features for a flattering result. Images are sharp and clear at all apertures. They also reduce flare and ghosting - a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give background blur. The lens features a non-rotating front element during focusing, enabling specialist filters (such as polarizers and graduates) to be used. Integration with E-TTL II flash metering The lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering. Ultrasonic focusing A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence.
