  • If, like us, you've been waiting for the perfect combination of stabilization and fast aperture, then yes. This isn't necessarily the best buy for every photographer — it's hard to argue with the $1,200 Sigma — but it does offer a unique combination of fe...

  • Fast f/1.4 aperture rating, Image stabilization, Premium build and image quality
  • Expensive to buy, Quite hefty for an 85mm f/1.4 lens
  • Not only great for portraiture, this is a hugely versatile prime lens that delivers superb image quality, even when shooting handheld under very low lighting conditions. For the money, it makes the Canon 85mm f/1.2L pretty much redundant. Outright image q...

  • Abstract:  Image stabilization has long been a must-have feature on zoom lenses, but it's not a given on primes, especially not ones with an f/1.4 aperture. The Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM ($1,599) bucks that trend. Not only does it include stabilization, it offers...

  • Stofen spatwaterdicht, Optische beeldstabilisatie, Snelle en nauwkeurige AF
  • Relatief groot en zwaar, Lichte chromatische aberratie in de hoeken bij open diafragma, Een tikkeltje zacht bij f/1.4, vooral in de hoeken
  • De Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is een aanrader om te kopen. Volgens de experts die de EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM hebben getest, krijg je voor € 1.479,00 een van de beste Objectieven/lenzen in deze prijsklasse op de markt...
