A great high aperture lens for a great price. Alot cheaper than the L offerings and alot more usable. L quality lens without the price tag.

Easy To Use; Excellent In Low Light; Fast Shutter Speed

No matter what if you are in the back row and your son on the stage at a school play, your picture will be Prefect and it will look like you were in the front row.

"I got this lens 3 months ago and since then i has been my go too. I use it mostly when i do automotive photoshoots because of the feel and tone the lens gives too an image. Great depth of field, great subject isolation, great bokeh.

This is the last relatively cheap prime in Canon's range. It's getting extremely long in the tooth now, so expect to see an STM, rounded blade update in the next couple of years. If they put IS on it, add at least another hundred quid to the new version, when it arrives.

Out of all my lenses, this is one of my favorites. Not as sharp as I thought it was going to be but that could be on my end. I think my camera needs to be calibrated. You can get a great dept of field with this camera and takes beautiful portrait photos.

I bought this lense for my 5d but the auto focas does not work, I was told by someone (customer service) that it will operate on my 5d before I bought it.

Great value for money fast focusing 85mm Canon lens; wide open at f1.8 this lens is shape with good background blur .The lens is lightweight with higher build quality than the Canon 50mm f1.4 The only con i have with this lens is the minimum focus distance of 0.85m.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality

Great lens, especially for the price! Auto focus speed is fast and accurate. Bokeh is smooth and beautiful! Light weight but sturdy build. If you're thinking about getting this lens, don't delay! It's definitely worth the asking price!

Fast AF; sharp; beautiful bokeh

No Hood included

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.

You may not use it every day, but along with the nifty 50 1.8, it's probably one of the best value lens, Canon has to offer, and priced at a fraction the L series match. Great bokeh, fast, and good focus.
