Excellent lens
Outstanding lens at a fraction of the price of the L-series. If you're looking for a fixed lens, then you can't go far wrong with this beauty.

Excellent Lens
For the price, you really can't do much better than this lens. Quality glass, 8 bladed aperture produces nice bokeh. Fast focusing. Although I've done portraits with this lens, I don't recommend it for close up work because of the f 1.8.

Great low-light lens
I was considering the newer 85mm f/1.4... but for me, the price point wasnt worth it. Many people like bokeh... which is fine. I like to shoot in low-light situations. This lens was superb when used on a Canon EOS 6D Mark II.... Autofocus was instantaneous. Very impressive.

Perfect Bokeh
If you want that beautiful mottled effect on your photographs (the experts call it Bokeh ;0)...On the right setting this will present you with that dreamy effect perfectly. Also perfect for portraits.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Retest @ 15mp / Review
The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM is a very desirable lens and, surprisingly, a very affordable one. Both contrast and resolution are very good straight from f/1.8 and excellent at medium aperture settings. On APS-C DSLRs there's only a moderate degree of vignetting at f/1.8 and beyond it's a non-issue.

Simply takes gorgeous portraits
This lens is one of the classic Canon lenses. It is affordably priced, and produces professional quality portraits with sharpness and background bokeh which are wonderful and have something about them that makes you think 'Wow!'.

Excellent
An excellent lens in all regards for full-frame use. A true oldie but goodie. Very good performance from f/2.2 to f/18. f/2 is where it starts performing well. I use mine for shallow DOF close-focus and landscape.
