With these fixed focal length lenses such as this one, the photos are unbelievable clear and crisp

My 60D with 1.6x crop sensor turn this lens into 136mm and its take very good portrait photos and the bokeh is unbeliveable.

I love this lens for both sessions and to play with for enjoying my nature photos.

Great clear photos with killer Bokeh.

If I can take photos this nice, imagine what I could do with even nicer lenses...

so the lens is a bit different then it would be on a non crop camera, I think my next lens will need to be a 35mm so I can get those wide shots, you really can't go wide with this one at all but the photos are awesome, couldn't really tell the diff between the 50mm and the 85mm but the cheap 50mm is nowhere near as nice to shoot with as the 85mm usm lens.

I've taken nothing BUT great photos since I bought it

Clear crisp and very sharp photos

Gorgeous lens, takes amazing photos

It takes very sharp, clear photos

i wanted a lens that would give me great photos in all kinds of light.

At f/1.8 it takes wonderful photos indoors without the need for a flash and the wide aperture and slight telephoto allow for excellent portraits

Either my new copy of the lens is better, or LR is better at removing fringes, but I haven't lost a single photo

However, on the used unit I purchased, the photos are incredibly sharp where you focus, and also in the top left hand of the frame which should be pleasantly out of focus

It's not the best travel lens because it requires you to step back far from the subject, but it takes beautiful photos.

Excellent price, awesome photos, and very easy to use.

I like that it's crisp and delivers amazing photos

Are first shots can be a bit challenging you aren't use to such a shallow depth of field, but once mastered you can create some amazing photos

No issues, shipped quick, and produces sharp photos

It takes superb portrait photos in both outdoor and indoor situations, keeping the subject in focus while blurring the background

When used as a portrait lens, stepped down and with adequate lighting, this lens makes amazingly sharp and accurate photos

I always shoot in the highest quality mode (full "L" + RAW), and I was getting crystal-clear photos even when shooting from a slow-moving vehicle, and I was able to shoot at a rate of several photos per second.

All shots have a beautiful bokeh (soft blurred background) effect, making portraits outstanding and my photos much more professional looking, without the L-lens price

good recommendations.2 - Most photos were sharp and required almost no post-processing.3 - Post-processing usually consisted of minor adjustments and cropping.4 - Considering the above settings, the aperture ranged from 1.8 to 2.5.5 - Since this lens is a prime, you get better results moving around.6 - The focus mechanism is fast and silent

I've seen some impressive photos from this

However, I use this lens all the time and have taken some amazing photos with it

You will get sharp photos in low light locations.

I am very pleased with this lens as it allows me to take sharp photos in very low light or cloudy conditions.

I took some photos of my son inside our home at f/1.8-f/2.0 and it's insanely sharp.

But the photos that this lens takes are so great

I was surprised at how sharp my photos are with a lens that is reasonably affordable

and I wanted crisp clear action photos.

I got this lens having read the many amazing reviews and now the photos seem blurry.

There are much cheaper lens that will fit and some will even take decent photos

I get excellent photos with it

Overall, the 85 1.8 is a really great lens that is reliable and produces awesome photos.

I got some of the best indoor sports photos with it.

Very good for portrait photos,and under low light conditions.it's one of the top lenses.very sharp photos and allow us to be far from subject!

I almost always use my tripod with this lens, and the photos are incredibly tack sharp

With these fixed focal length lenses such as this one, the photos are unbelievable clear and crisp

Not much to add to the other great reviews, except to say that I've had this lens for over a year, and it never fails to produce razor sharp photos

I noticed at certain times, the photos looked very soft

It produces super sharp photos and it is a great portrait lens.

Not up to snuff with Cannon's L series lenses, but certainly capable of memorable photos.

The photos are very crisp.

takes beautiful photos, only thing is that it has a really hard time focusing in low light

I am using it on a 6D and am finding it is very easy to focus and with a few exceptions (my errors) my photos have been incredibly sharp

It produces crisp photos, even at

Excellent photos by this lens.

I love it, it takes amazing photos, the clarity is well beyond expected and for the price vs the 85mm f/1.4 lens it is WELL worth it!

I have tested both and found the L produces a slightly better photo but cost a whole lot more money.

This lens here still creates beautiful photos and is affordable

This lens takes beautiful photos!

You appreciate the detail when cropping and blowing up a photo

Go check out video reviews of this lens as well as example photos on Flickr

Tack sharp photos, beautiful bokeh, and very challenging to use at events, I absolutely love it.

I think the look is very professional and the photos I get are great.

My friends love the photos I take with this lens but the just can't put their finger on why

Even though I am a serious amateur, they replied back saying the photos were gorgeous and amazing, and loved it.

This in concert with my 50 1.8 for wider angle situations like awards and group snaps, the photos are absolutely stunning.

i wanted to get much sharper photos than i was getting with the kit lens that came with the camera.

You'll get great photos with these

The photos are pretty sharp and the USM definitely helps here

It takes very clear photos without a flash.

I love the photos I've been getting with this lens and really can't recommend it highly enough

This lens takes beautiful photos and was pretty affordable, especially considering the quality.
