![]() ![]() Now when it comes to the Canon 50mm f/1.2L and the Canon 85mm f/1.2L Mark II, I very much prefer the 85mm 1.2. Since I shoot mainly portraits, I chose the 50mm 1.2 lens because it gives me a bit better extreme low light performance and has the focal length that is a bit more conducive to portraits. Now personally, I prefer the 50mm 1.2, but if you are thinking about getting the 85mm f/1.2 then you might be better off going with the 35mm 1.4 so that you have a little more variance in focal length.Įither way, the 35mm and the 50mm 1.2 are very close in focal length, so I would choose one or the other, but not both. So which of these Canon lenses has the most uberly creamy bokeh? I actually have 3 favorites among these bokeh-de-beppo lenses.įor a semi-wide angle lens, I would go with either the Canon 35mm f/1.4L or the 50mm f/1.2L. It is also absolutely tack sharp and noticeably so when viewed full screen! Absolutely flawless when it comes to image quality. This lens is the 200mm f/2’s big brother and while it has a little less bokeh than the 200mm f/2L, it still is quite solid in the bokeh department. This lens has amazing compression and a solid amount of bokeh that is worth its price tag.Īdditionally, whether you are looking at the image in full view or zoomed in, the image that the 200mm f/2L creates is absolutely tack sharp with no soft dreaminess whatsoever! This lens is simply gorgeous!įinally, we have the mighty giant, the Canon 300mm f/2.8L II. Next up, we have the little monster, also known as the Canon 200mm f/2L. However, it does have noticeably less bokeh than the 85mm 1.2, which is somewhat expected given the difference in maximum aperture. The 100mm f/2 is also very sharp wide open, as you can see below. I chose this over the Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS because it creates a more beautiful amount of of bokeh at f/2 than the 100mm 2.8 Macro. The Canon 100mm f/2 is the only non-L lens in this line up. This is because the 85mm 1.2’s longer focal length creates additional compression that pulls background elements forward and allows objects to fall out of focus quicker!īut, it is also noticeably sharper when wide open than the 50mm 1.2, though it does still have a bit of dreamy softness. With its additional compression and more open aperture, its bokeh is also a bit more creamy than the 35mm 1.4.Ĭanon 85mm f/1.2L Mark II Canon 85mm f/1.2 at f/.2Īlthough the 85mm 1.2 has the same f/1.2 wide open aperture bokeh as the 50mm 1.2, it has much stronger bokeh. Canon 50mm f/1.2 at f/1.2Īlthough its image does look a bit soft and dreamy like the Canon 24mm 1.4, the 50mm 1.2 is still quite usable at its wide open aperture of f/1.2. Here we have the Canon 50mm f/1.2L and its delicious bokeh. We don’t have any of that same dreamy haze as we did on the 24mm when wide open. It has a bit more bokeh than the Canon 24mm 1.4, and it is also noticeably sharper wide open. For a semi-wide angle lens, it has some pretty delicious bokeh! Canon 35mm f/1.4 at f/1.4 We also have a bit of “dreaminess” or haze when wide open, but still, a very usable image. However, it is noticeably a bit soft around our area of focus, our model. At a Wide Open Aperture (WOA) of f/1.4, this bokeh-licious lens has a delightful amount of soft and creamy bokeh, which is impressive for a wide angle lens! Canon 24mm f/1.4 at f/1.4 What matters is what we can actually see without having to zoom in because after all, we want bokeh that we can readily see!
