Brilliant piece of Glass

First kudos to Flipkart shipping. I was simply astounded when the delivery came to my home. Just 2 days from the day of order. Now to the lens. I think its worth every penny. First I had lot of thoughts whether to buy or not , but it is a brilliant lens to shoot. Got the lens Yesterday.

Awesome lens if you can't get the 1.2mm

I bought this lens for portraits. It has been wonderful so far. I think I like it more than my 50mm 1.8. It's a good alternative til I can afford the better L version.
Pros:
  • Clean
  • sharp pictures!!
Cons:
  • Nothing so fat

Great Sharp Lens

I bought this lens for low light work. It has a good reputation for sharpness. It's light, very sharp, focuses well and for portraits gives a nce depth of field. Everything I wanted. <br /><br />I don't have any cons right now. I felt it was a good investment for the money and it hasn't let me down.
Pros:
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Lightweight
  • Sharpness
  • speed

A hidden gem on the non L lineup

I am very happy with this lens. I shot a party outdoors, dusk, mosquito time. The photos were brilliant and looked bright. Was in full auto and they were mostly wide open, f/2.0 f1.8 Was very impressed with the color at this low light. Using a 5D mk2.
Pros:
  • A Real Value
  • Lightweight
  • Nice Bokeh
Cons:
  • Minimum Focus Distance

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

I always love how 85mm looks for portraits. This one is my favorite 85 for canon system. I prefer this lens to the heavy & sluggish big brother (f/1.2)-though the 85/1.2 is an exceptional lens. It's fast enough for almost everything. It has the goodness of an 85 lens.
Pros:
  • IQ
  • build quality
  • USM
  • price
Cons:
  • none
