The F1.2 maximum aperture and 9-blade diaphragm deliver shallow depth of field and smooth bokeh, while 10 elements in 7 groups with 1 aspherical and 2 high refractive elements maintain sharpness across the frame. Its built-in AE chip enables auto metering and exposure on Canon EF bodies, despite manual focus, and the non-rotating 86mm filter mount suits polarizers. Best for portrait and wedding photographers who prioritize low-light performance and selective focus over autofocus speed or portability.
