Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens Review
Looking for a good value in a small, light, great performing, fast lens ? Try the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens. The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens is relatively inexpensive but yields very good image quality. It is reasonably sharp wide open, but really shines from f/2.8 on.

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM offers an equivalent focal length of 136mm when coupled to Canon APS-C D-SLRs like the EOS 50D, 7D, or more recently announced EOS 600D, and features a maximum aperture of f/1.8.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Review
Rather than testing Canon's f/1.8 lens we might have looked at the f/1.2L version instead – were it not for the £2,640 price tag. This is a mind-bogglingly hefty sum that puts the lens well out of reach for most photographers.
Pros:
- Quality and price
Cons:
- f/22 performance

Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM
If you own a Canon 35-mm reflex camera nowadays your selection of classic portrait 85 mm lenses is really large. The list can be started by the expensive but splendid EF 85 mm f/1.2L USM II – a lens you would look for in vain in other systems.
Pros:
- well-made casing
- very good image quality in the frame centre
- good or decent image quality on the edge of APS-C sensor and full frame
- lateral chromatic aberration corrected splendidly
- low distortion
- slight astigmatism
- sensibly low vignetting on APS-C
- fast and efficient autofocus
- good...
Cons:
- noticeable longitudinal chromatic aberration
- modest accessory kit
- lack of repeatability of particular specimens

Pros:
- sharp
- beautiful bokeh
- easy to use
- quiet
Cons:
- none so far

A great lens to own. You will still be using this wonderful glass into your 4th or 5th Camera upgrade... in the next decade or so. It's that good. It's like having a 50mm lens on a cropped 1.6x sensor. Same FOV.
Pros:
- Bang great AF accuracy with manual overide
- No moving parts
- no focus barrel movements
- Weird but wonderfull lens hood
- (Try attaching the hood in reverse and let them go crazy trying to figure out what kind of lens you got
- because it looks...weird! Try it it
- its fun.
Cons:
- Easily spotted by photographer friends and asked to be borrowed..
- annoying
