Amazing

Works beautifully! I use it on my canon RP, with the adapter of course, with no issues at all.

Great budget lens

I'm an amateur photographer but this lens has stepped up the quality of my photos. Plus it's pretty cheap compared to others.

GET this lens! (Top Pro)

Okay first said my husband bought this for me because he thought he was getting a great deal on the $2900 version which I also now own. This lens is amazing!! The $2900 verion never gets into my kit most days. Perfect for portraits. It's sharp but "People sharp" has an amazing look to headshots.

85mm 1.8

Love this lens! I switch between this and my 50mm 1.8. I can?t afford the 1.4 but for the shoots I currently do, it works for my budget

Simple, No frills, Beautiful photography

Bought this new (from a different website about two months ago. I already had a 35mm, a 100mm, and a zoom lens, but THIS? This 85mm? Prefect! And you don't have to think about it too long because it is not $$$$. The price is so affordable that even if you only use it for a few weeks it's worth it! I use it for baby photos and pictures of kids eating, running, playing--this stuff could easily go in a magazine, and I'm not even a professional!

Great lens

Fantastic lens. I was worried about not having image stabilization but it has not been a problem - I just keep my shutter speed a touch higher than I need.

Great quality lens

I really love this lens and the bokeh. After using a 50 for almost 10 years it?s an adjustment remembering to stand further away than I?m used to. This is a high quality lens with great results! Overall I?m glad I switched from the 50, it?s more versatile.

85mm 1.8 solid value

Best value portrait lens for the cost. This creates such a lovely blurred background and works very well in low light.

Textbook definition of bang for the buck

By Blake

Welcome to the world of Canon telephoto primes. Don't let the low price fool you - the only difference between this lens and professional L glass is the lack of weathersealing. Everything else is professional grade. Ring USM autofocus is faster than anything else on the market, period. Build quality is excellent and feels solid in your hands (it is in fact plastic but you'd be hard-pressed to tell without looking). Resolution is excellent. Like on almost any lens I stop down to f/2.0 or f/2.2...

No matter what the occasion are, vacation or commercial shot, fashion or children, this lens pays it all. Almost all of my masterpiece session were involving the EF 85mm f/1.8....You don't have to pay L series bucks to get their quality, this is it, the alpha & the omega in matter of lightweight prime lens. Amazingly sharp, even at maximum aperture ( I often selected 1 s...

A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability. Images are sharp and clear at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur. Since the front lens group does not rotate during focusing special filter effects are not affected.
