If you have been debating about getting an 85mm prime lens for your canon mirrorless body, this is a no brainer. With fantastic macro capabilities, great bokeh with the 1.8 f-stop and overall light weight. This lens also is great for portrait work and landscape/architecture if you want to dive into additional forms of photography.

Perfection and easy on the wallet. If you can find one, get this lens. This can go toe to toe with $3,000 glass for a fraction of the price. The auto focus can be a but sluggish, but the images are tac sharp and the bokeh is sooooo good.

I was on the fence getting this lens but after seeing samples of other photographers I decided to get this lens and I am not disappointed, its sharp and does a great job for what I need. I couldn't see spending money on the more expensive 85mm from Canon and glad I went this route. It is a bit slow and noisy but didn't bother me on my test shots and it will be fun using this in the future
