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 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

With Canon Portrait lenses, less can be more

An outstanding portrait lens for Canon shooters on a tight budget, or even those who can afford anything. Not as beautiful as the 85/1.2, but smaller, lighter and quicker handling.
Pros:
  • Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture
  • good bokeh
  • sharp from corner to corner
  • fast focus
  • cheap
Cons:
  • Bokeh not as smooth as the pro lenses
  • plasticky build

good price

This is a well-priced lense that according to online image samples is one of canon's best for portrait photography. It has imperceptible differences with the L-version, enough to make this lense well worth the price for quality and value for money. It's the cheapest @ kalahari.

Great lens, okay kit

Lens is great and lives up to everything the reviews said. In this case, the kit was added for the same price so even though the kit quality is so-so and several of the items (usb and bag) shown in the picture didn't come with my kit, the fact is I would just end up throwing them in my junk drawer,...
