The RF 85mm lens works great with my Canon EOS R6 Mark II! The pictures come out crisp and I really enjoy the bokeh that happens with I lower the aperture. Super happy with this lens.

bought for wider field Milky Way and star imaging. Found pretty good stars across the field but found it has pretty bad internal reflection or some other problem that creates circular rings in night sky images. I managed to 'control' it and process a lot of it out, but a big disappointment as an EF-S similar lens I have, has none of this.

I purchased this lens in August of 2024 for my Canon R6M2. I'm happy with the lens overall as it produces good quality images. My only complaint is the time it sometimes takes to focus but as a person that mainly takes landscape photos, it's an issue I can live with. I'm attaching a couple of photos taken with the RF85 F2 for reference.

Awesome lens. I love the sharpness of it. I use it to take pet portraits. I have tried the macro on static subjects outside and it is sharp at the focus point. I think it is well-made and the price is reasonable. I am happy that Canon has a series of prime lenses for those of us who are not professional photographers but love photography. Just buy it.

Great lens. Takes sharp photos. Much cheaper price than the 85mm F 1.2. On top of that it is a macro lens for great close up shots. Very happy with lens.

I returned this lens. The motor was extremely noisy and took a long time to focus. I wanted to use it on the R7 as a macro lens, but it didn?t work out for me.

Great lens. Sharp quick focus. Only issue is it focus hunts in extreme low light. Awesome portrait lens.

Great lens. Finds focus quickly with the exception of some low light (night shooting) situations. Does well with portraits and the macro focusing is amazing. In my opinion this would be a 5 star lens but the low light focus hunting took that to 4 stars. All in all a great lens that produces sharp images!

I needed a lightweight camera for backpacking/hiking. I thought I would give the Canon RP full frame mirrorless a try because it is so light weight. I coupled the RP with the RF 85mm f/2 on a recent trip to Mt. Whitney Portal. I captured some amazing photos of Mt. Whitney during the early Nautical and Civil twilight hours. Temps. around 23 F. and the above package, while light weight, performed great. See attached photos.

Optical quality is nice but the STM AF motors are slow, noisy, and hunts pretty badly. Maybe the worst AF performance of any RF lens I've used. Additionally, for being labeled macro it doesn't actually focus that close. I really wish they would make an offering between this and the L model. I'd be happy with these optics but with USM motors. I often reach for the 85mm focal length but I really don't need anything faster than f/2, and the price of the L model is just insane.

Really no complaints at all with this lens. This was my second native RF lens and it's rarely leaving my camera now. I do a mix of product, portrait, studio fashion and wedding photography and it's been a solid performer in all areas. Fast focusing, even on the original EOS R with Eye-AF turned on, and exactly what you'd expect from an RF lens.

This is a wonderfully sharp, light lens that I?m very happy to add to my kit. The f2 gives you really good depth of field and bokeh at a fairly approachable price point.

Great lens for the money. The AF can be wonky at times but the photos are fantastic

I received my canon lens on time. I really like the quality built of this lens and it?s definitely a great lens to have in your lens kit. I highly recommend

High-quality lens at a great price! I'm very happy with my choice and would recommend it to others. The only downside is AF is a bit slow.

I didn?t expect much from this stm lens but i am blown away with the quality of the images.

Loved my f 1.8, FD version back in the 70s. Love this RF version on my RP today. Image stabilization is my friend for sharp hand-held shots. Bokeh is beautiful. Close focusing distance is amazingly helpful. Compact size and weight are also beneficial.

Just what I was looking for. Great F.2 portrait and macro lens. Waited a long time for it. Definitely would recommend.

Works great. I've only had it for a few days and am yet to get to the field. So, my experience has been limited to test photos around the house, all of which were good. Relatively fast focusing. I'm satisfied.

you really don't need an "L" lens to get great results, this lens is great for portraiture, macro, and many other scenes.

I opted for the less expensive RF 85mm and I am very impressed with its sharpness and colors. I tested the lens shooting some still life, one photo is attached here. As an elderly photographer, keeping the weight of my gear down is very important, so this lens is best for me. I highly recommend ignoring the nay-sayers who tout the "L" lenses because this lens is superb.

Have used this for several sessions so far and it is so sharp!! I love it. My go to!
