Canon rf 85mm f 1 4l vcm vs canon rf 85mm f 1 2l usm?

The two lenses cover the same ground: 85mm, autofocus, no stabilisation, and both fit the same Canon RF bodies, full frame and APS-C alike. The difference is the maximum aperture and the build. The f/1.2L USM gives you the shallowest depth of field and the most light, while the f/1.4L VCM is the lighter portrait lens, built with video in mind.

If you shoot portraits in low light and want the most background blur, the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM is the one. If you carry your kit a lot or shoot video too, the Canon RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM makes more sense. For more on choosing a portrait focal length, see portraits.
