Just published in DAP is a new landscape study of the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II.
The Canon 85/1.2L II is a wonderfully versatile lens, able to deliver a sharp image at f/1.2 with beautiful blur, or be tack sharp to the corners when stopped down. It is eminently suitable for use as a landscape lens, in spite of its ostensible “portraiture” designation.
This study shows the interplay of sharpness and bokeh and “color bokeh” at f1.2. f1.4, f1.8, f2, f2.5, f2.8, f3.5, f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16, being didactively instructive for using the 85/1.2L II in the outdoors (or otherwise).
Retina-grade images are shown.
