Canon EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM review
The Canon EOS system is surprisingly rich in portrait lenses. They are here for every taste and budget: from super-fast to the most budget ones. But there is never much good, so in 2017 the company introduced the Canon EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM . Check Price Canon EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM Calling him “another” or “next” portraiture will not work. This is the flagship, top model. Like it or not, the aperture f / 1.4 obliges this. In addition, this is the first fast fix in a system with optical stabilization with a declared efficiency of up to four exposures. Too many reasons to take a closer look at the new product. So we will not delay, we pass to the test!Canon EOS 5D Mark IV / EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM Settings: ISO 100, F2.2, 1/8000 s, 85.0 mm equiv.Download RAW
Construction, design
The lens was massive and heavy. It weighs 950 grams, the diameter of the filter is 77 mm. A kind of dense strong. So he, in fact, is. Like most "elek", the EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM is equipped with dust and moisture protection. There is even a rubber “skirt” on the mount. The design of the portrait is monolithic: when focusing, not a single external element moves. The front lens block is stationary. The rubberized manual focus ring has a soft and smooth ride with a rotation angle of just over 90 degrees. The ring is wide, comfortable, without backlash. There is a distance scale traditional for USM lenses.Canon EOS 5D Mark IV / Canon EF 85mm f / 1.4L IS USM Settings: ISO 100, F1.4, 1/8000 s, 85.0 mm equiv.
Of the innovations, we note the stabilizer switch, which is part of the autofocus switch on the side of the lens. There are no other controls.
A compact round plastic lens hood is supplied with the lens.
