Description from the seller

## Description: Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM - Professional Portrait Lens

### Overview

Up for auction is a legendary piece of Canon’s L-series glass: the **Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM**. Known as one of the ultimate portrait lenses ever produced, it is famous for its extremely shallow depth of field and the sublime, creamy "bokeh" that only a maximum aperture of f/1.2 can provide.

### Optical and Performance Excellence

* **Ultra-Large f/1.2 Aperture:** Allows for incredible background separation and exceptional performance in low-light conditions without the need for a flash.
* **L-Series Build Quality:** Constructed to professional standards, featuring a floating optical system and aspherical lens element to ensure high contrast and sharpness even at wide apertures.
* **Ultrasonic Motor (USM):** Provides fast and quiet autofocus, with full-time manual focus override for precise adjustments.
* **Portrait Specialist:** The 85mm focal length combined with the f/1.2 speed makes this the go-to lens for professional portrait, wedding, and fashion photographers.

### Condition

* **Optics:** The glass is in excellent condition. Looking through the lens, it appears clear and free from scratches, haze, or fungus.
* **Body:** The lens barrel is well-preserved, showing only minimal signs of professional use, as seen in the high-resolution photos.
* **Functionality:** The autofocus is responsive, and the manual focus ring operates smoothly.

### Included Items

As shown in the original photographs, this auction includes:

* Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM Lens
* Genuine Canon Lens Hood (ES-79II)
* Genuine Canon Soft Lens Pouch (Grey Suede-style)
* Front and Rear Lens Caps
* Protective Lens Filter (DHG Super Lens Protect 72mm)

### Shipping and Handling

The lens will be packed with the utmost care using professional-grade cushioning materials. It will be shipped via a tracked and insured courier service to ensure it reaches its destination safely.
