This was a great purchase. Very fast delivery, great price, and lens fits perfectly. I purchased this for my wife and she loves it. Would buy again.

Good value for the money.

The lens can be quite soft wide open, and the focus motor is loud and a little slower than the ultrasonic of the Canon... so this is definitely not a lens for events where silence is important (I wouldn't use it at a wedding, for example). I bought it to see if they were as good as the Canon version, and besides the focus sound, I think it's definitely worth the money. If you want to just add another lens to your arsenal, then by all means buy this one... But, if it will be your primary portrait lens, then the Canon may be a better choice.

Great addition to my lens lineup

Been looking for an 85mm and saw the good reviews. Then saw the price. Yes please! So far, its an excellent lens and good value. Definitely better in closer shots with beautiful bokeh. Not the best for longer, subject-oriented shots. Color is true and sharpness is fantastic. Canon 80D
