Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to go along with my 50mm 1.4, which I love. But this is so much faster and the pictures are sharp with a great bokeh. Can't wait to use it more. Got it for a great price through BB compared to other sites.

Very sharp lens it’s one of my favorites for portrait and low light

This lens is amaze or portraits. Very easy to use just wish the price wasn’t so high but it’s totally worth it

I was not prepared for the results provided by this lens. It made an incredible difference. The price is so low when considering the quality of the photos. It's priced very fairly.

I was looking for a budget-minded 85mm prime lens for medium length focal shots. This lens fits the bill to a tee. Highly recommended for any level photographer.

I am not a pro and I am still learning but I love this lens. I take a lot of still photos and portraits. This lens is excellent quality and easy to use!!

I absolutely love this lens. It is extremely sharp and the AF motor is smooth, fast and quiet. Low light performance is top notch too.

Super sharp and great for portraits. Provides sharp detail on subject and lovely bokeh. Quickly becoming my favorite lens to use in many different settings.

Excellent lens. Dreamy bokeh. Easy to use. Would buy again. A must for portrait photographers

This lens is a great prime lens to add to anyone's collection. The BOKEH effect is amazing and the clarity of the picture are fantastic. A must have!

I've only used my new lens a couple of times, but it's working wonderfully and creating gorgeous images! Great lens to add to your bag at a good price point.

Delivers a high quality picture. The lens produces a very impressive bokeh and very fast focusing.

You get a very nice blurred effect, extremely sharp and very good in low light. Only issue is this you have to get far to get a wider picture.

I like this lens better then the nifty fifty. To me, this lens gives a better photo and the background blur is awesome.

Great for outdoor photography planning on using it for basketball shoots

My only regret is that I didn’t buy this glass sooner. Shoots sharp as a tack and the bokeh is immaculate even at f/4.5.

awesome lens for its price, very good for portrait and still subjects. the only problem is the lens was not equipped with IS, not for situation with a lot of movements you better use flash. not bad overall.

You're maybe wondering if you should just be cheap and buy the 50mm f1.8 instead of splurging on this 85mm that's not any faster. And if im being 100% I say yes. I also say just buy them both, they each have their place, but this is one of the most useful lenses in the inexpensive canon lines. Wow, you might not want to take this off your camera. Sharp as all get up and well built. I still use this on a convertor with my Sony mirrorless so lets get real.

Another awesome lens by Canon that makes photoshoots easy. The downsides are the high price tag and having to stand further from the subject being photographed. But if you can afford it, and don't mind the distance, go for it, you will enjoy its quality.

It is heavier than I expected. It’s a nice lens that produces a very clear picture.
