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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well worth the expense.
This lens takes beautiful pictures! I'm an amateur photographer. I am a seamstress and wanted to get great pictures of the clothes I sew to post online. This lens helped me accomplish that. The pictures are just beautiful. I can't say it enough.

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.

Fantastic LENS has done me well
Ive had this few yrs and still love it even on my film Camera, as I have progressed in bodies and L series lines. I can still highly recommend this lens for portrait and other work.

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.

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.
