EF85mm f/1.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF85mm f/1.2L II USM lens is a high-performance medium telephoto lens developed for EOS cameras. It is equipped with a large-diameter, high-precision aspheric lens element to achieve a brightness of f/1.2. The lens is suitable for portraits and other types of photographs making full use of the large-diameter lens feature for nice background blur. ¡“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor. Features 1.
a Safety Precautions a Safety Precautions • Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous. • Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens 2. Setting the Focus Mode See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ¡After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and electrical contacts from getting scratched. ¡If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera and lens may not operate properly.
3. Infinity Compensation Mark 4. Infrared Index Infinity compensation mark Distance index To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on the distance scale. For accurate manual focusing on subjects at infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while rotating the focusing ring.
5. Depth-of-Field Scale The depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the plane of focus on the subject that appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by the area between the depth-of-field scale lines below the distance scale. Numbers in the scale are in F values, and for example, if the shooting distance is 5m and the aperture is f/11, the sharp area will extend from about 4m to 7m. The depth-of-field scale is an approximate indicator. 6.
7. Filters (Sold separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. ¡Only one filter may be attached. ¡If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter (72mm). ¡To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood. 8. Extension Tubes (Sold separately) You can attach Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II for magnified shots. The shooting distance and magnification are shown below.
. Close-up Lenses (Sold separately) Attaching a 500D (72mm) Close-up Lens enables close-up photography. Magnification will be 0.28× – 0.17×. ¡Close-up Lens 250D cannot be attached because there is no size that fits the lens. ¡Manual focusing is recommended for accurate focusing.
