A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Canon EF 85mm lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful ...
It is a great portrait lens, and even better for action shots.
A great portrait lens that produces sharp images and a lovely bokeh!
Some head and shoulder shots are doable, dont get me wrong, but if your main intent is portraits you will be disappointed (as an outdoor lens its fine since you always have enough room but for group shots you will have to stand far away)
It produces super sharp photos and it is a great portrait lens.
This is an awesome portrait lens on a 1.6x crop factor camera, and pretty cheap too
What I do not like about the lens is the focus is touchy, it drops out quick, but you can feel it happening
The focus is quick and absolutely smooth, no noise at all
This is also a truly excellent lens for not-very-wide field astrophotography, although at critical focus and maximum aperture, chromatic aberration will make itself felt on the brightest stars, which you will then have to compensate for
This lens has a beautiful shallow focus on my Rebel T2i
Incredibly sharp, fast focusing, solidly built, and wonderful bokeh (out of focus blur).
I replaced my 50mm 1.8 for this and I LOVE this lens so much more than any other lens I have owned
I love my 50mm but have been wanting to try this 85mm for a while now
Like Canon's 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, the 85mm f/1.8 is one of those where you're left scratching your head as to why it doesn't have an "L" designation
this is a great portrait lens for the money and competes head to head with the bigger more expensive 85mm 1.2L.
This lens is required if you want to shoot portraits on Full Frame Canon camera and 1) can't afford the 1.2 85mm and 2) want auto focus
The good:Fast aperture = great low light shootingInsanely sharp, almost as good as my 135 f/2LBad
I also own the EF 50mm f/1.4, but of the two I prefer this lens.
The weakness of this lens is noticeable purple fringing and the high price for a plastic body.
Even though this lens is awesome and is super sharp the only problem it has which can be fixed is the purple fringing when there is lots of contrast between dark and light
The only knocks against it that I could possibly think of are the purple fringing that it produces when being shot wide open, and a loss of contrast due to lens flare when shooting backlit subjects, such as someone with their back to the sun
I have found it sharp and usuable even wide open and its shallow depth of field is great for my portraits
If anything, I find the depth of field at f1.8 so shallow that it is useful only rarely.
It has a very shallow depth of field which makes beautifully out of focus backgrounds.
I love this lens it gives me clear sharp cinematic image with great depth of field and HD videos
It's a useful focal length on both full frame and crop, but if you like head and shoulder portraits and shallow depth of field, I can't recommend this lens enough.

Style:w/ Software
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Canon EF 85mm lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures
Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur, thereby bringing your subject into crisp view
The ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) and fast f/1.8 aperture, meanwhile, helps the subject zip into focus in the viewfinder
And because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, special filter effects are not affected
Best of all, the standard zoom lens--with its natural angle of view and perspective--captures the subject plainly, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field
As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty
