The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens is a highly practical and portable medium telephoto lens that offers superb image delineation. Renowned for producing sharp and clear images across all aperture settings, this lens is a favorite among professional photographers and hobbyists alike. Designed through advanced computer simulations, the lens creates a beautiful background blur, often referred to as bokeh, which allows in-focus subjects to stand out against a softly blurred backdrop. This is achieved through a virtually circular aperture diaphragm, which also gives out-of-focus regions a more even and aesthetically pleasing feel.One of the standout features of the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM lens is its large maximum aperture. This f/1.8 aperture allows photographers to shoot hand-held in challenging low-light conditions, while also providing the ability to restrict depth-of-field for creative effects. Ideal for portrait photography, the short telephoto focal length of the lens subtly compresses perspective, reducing the size of prominent facial features for a more flattering result. The lens also features a non-rotating front element during focusing, enabling the use of specialist filters such as polarizers and graduates without affecting the image quality.The lens is equipped with a ring-type ultrasonic motor that drives autofocus extremely quickly and nearly silently. This ensures accurate focus without overshooting, and with the added benefit of full-time manual override, photographers can adjust focus without leaving AF mode.The EF 85mm f/1.8 USM lens also features Super Spectra coatings, which ensure accurate color balance and enhance contrast. These coatings also reduce flare and ghosting, a common issue caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor. Finally, the lens integrates seamlessly with E-TTL II flash metering, passing distance information back to a compatible EOS camera to ensure optimal flash metering. This makes the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens an essential tool for any photographer looking to capture stunning portraits and close-up shots.

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

Amazing

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

Great budget lens

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens

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.

GET this lens!  (Top Pro)

Beautiful lens, bokeh just gorgeous, crisp, clear, great value!

Excellent Lens for Portraits

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

85mm 1.8

Love love LOVE the bokeh and creaminess of this lens. Shoots like and L with out the extra $$$

Dreamy lens

Great lens kit

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 lens

What a great lens! Done a few sessions using it and am in love!

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.

Great quality lens

Great!

Love this lens. Although my camera doesn?t have the image stabilizer in it, the pictures still come out great.

Love!

Great portrait lens

Best lens for portraits and weddings, hands down.

The best on a budget

If you're looking for a Canon lens for weddings or great portrait images; this is the lens for you. I purchased this lens after much research and cost comparisons.

Your search is done, but this lens and stop looking at cheap glass.

Great lens for the price. The lens is compact and provide very sharp image. It is great for taking portrait pictures.

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

85mm 1.8 solid value

As close as can be to the ideal portrait lens.  Fast, nice bokeh, and not terribly expensive.
