Characterized by a sophisticated optical design, the SP 85mm f/1.2 from Rokinon is a portrait-length prime lens for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. One aspherical element and a pair of high refractive index elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions in order to realize a high degree of clarity and sharpness, and an Ultra Multi-Coating is also featured to suppress ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color fidelity. The lens also sports an impressively fast f/1.2 maximum aperture to benefit working in low-light conditions as well as for controlling depth of field for selective focus effects. Additionally, the manual focus design contributes to the precise control over focus, and an aluminum alloy housing benefits handling as well as improves overall durability.
