A great lens to own. You will still be using this wonderful glass into your 4th or 5th Camera upgrade... in the next decade or so. It's that good. It's like having a 50mm lens on a cropped 1.6x sensor. Same FOV.

Bang great AF accuracy with manual overide; No moving parts; no focus barrel movements; Weird but wonderfull lens hood; (Try attaching the hood in reverse and let them go crazy trying to figure out what kind of lens you got; because it looks...weird! Try it it; its fun.

Easily spotted by photographer friends and asked to be borrowed..; annoying

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.

Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture; good bokeh; sharp from corner to corner; fast focus; cheap

Bokeh not as smooth as the pro lenses; plasticky build

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

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.

I bought this lens to do portrait work but then I find myself using it more and more for every kind of pictures, compressed landscape, flower, nature, anything really. The quality of the pictures is just too great to miss. This lens is well balanced on a 40d (it would be on a rebel also).

Perfect picture quality; fast and silent

Prime..; Zoom and Dezoom with your feet

First kudos to Flipkart shipping. I was simply astounded when the delivery came to my home. Just 2 days from the day of order. Now to the lens. I think its worth every penny. First I had lot of thoughts whether to buy or not , but it is a brilliant lens to shoot. Got the lens Yesterday.

I bought this lens for portraits. It has been wonderful so far. I think I like it more than my 50mm 1.8. It's a good alternative til I can afford the better L version.

Clean; sharp pictures!!

Nothing so fat

This is a great lens for portraiture! Very sharp wide open, love it!

As expected by reading reviews on forums, this lens provides fantastic clarity. Beware of the chromatic aberration (causing purple blur on sharp contrast) between F1.8-2.8. I'm using it with my EOS 550D, which came with the 18-135 F3.5-5.6 kit and is practical but in my opinion the 85 F1.8 is a...

Ett fantastiskt gediget objektiv, med tanke på prisnivån. Tungt, stabilt och rejält. Kvaliteten i bilderna är också mycket imponerande. Fina färger, utomordentligt skarpt och en mycket tilltalande "oskärpa" vid stor bländare. Kort sagt är detta ett mycket bra objektiv.

Skarpt; Välbyggt; Fin "oskärpa"; Bra färger; Snabb AF
