Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM
Canon's EF 85mm f1.8 USM is a classic portrait lens for both full-frame and cropped bodies. The longer focal length allows you to stand a little further away than the 50mm models, and also accentuates the blurred background effect.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Retest @ 15mp / Review
There isn't really much to talking regarding the build quality of the lens - the outer lens barrel is made of high quality plastics combined with a metal mount. The broad, rubberized focus ring operates pretty smooth. The physical length of the lens remains constant regardless of the focus setting.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens now I must say this lens was much heavier than I thought it was going to be when I picked it up for the first time. Which I don't mind at all because it feels very solid compared to the kit lens (that many people have) with their camera currently.

Canon 85mm f/1.8 - a normal prime lens for the masses
The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 is a nice piece of glass. Being an EF lens, it is compatible with all EOS cameras regardless of sensor size, which is a definite plus compared to EF-S lenses which are for crop (APS-C) bodies only, like the Canon 10D/20D/30D/40D/50D/60D/7D and Rebel/ xxxD series.

flop
I bought this lense for my 5d but the auto focas does not work, I was told by someone (customer service) that it will operate on my 5d before I bought it.

Fantastic!
I thought long and hard about this lens compared with the 85 1.2 and in the end frugality won out. This lens is OUTSTANDING for the price. It's light, fast (fast focussing too) and produces great results.

Sharp as all get out
This is a great lens for portrait photography. With f/1.8 you can get a good shallow DOF and good bokeh. It's sharp as a tack and the focusing is fast and accurate. The construction is not up to L lens standards but this isn't an L lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
Cons:
- Weak Casing
