Great lens!! Love the creaminess of the bokeh! Definitely great for senior portraits

Excellent lens at an affordable price. If you’re looking to complete your RF Lens Collection without breaking your budget, this lens is the one for you! Provides a great bokeh, has nice macro ability, and is everything you need for professional looking portraits. The focus is a little slow but for the price, you can’t beat it.

Great lens with insane bokeh. A little slow to focus for moving objects, but awesome for portrait and macro photography. Also slow for video but beautiful lens effects on still shots.

This is a great lens for beginners. It is much more affordable than the alternative RF 85mm f1.2! The picture quality and bokeh is excellent.

This Canon RF85mm F2 macro lens has been a great purchase! Clear, crisp images, not too heavy, overall great addition to my R5 setup.

A beast. Produces great pictures. Used this indoors at a pretty dim lit venue. Handled it with ease. Produces great bokeh at a really good price. Took it out at dawn downtown and boy did it perform. Made the lights of the city sparkle!!! Using this on an Canon R7 so it's even tighter than 85mm. Zoom is pretty good but you can make it better depending on which type of photos you're taking with the help of the zoom toggle on the camera.

This is perfect, this is what I needed, very good quality.

Love this lens, a bit slow to focus but pictures are crisp! Macro is a plus can’t beat the price.

Highly recommend, good quality, perfect for special events and making good memories

I am quite please with the quality of build, performance and results from this lens. I would not call it a budget lens but it is indeed far less expensive that the Canon ‘L’ variant. However, this lens could easily be used by a professional who wanted to save some money to afford other gear, like a second body with other lenses. I find the bokeh quite pleasing and at portrait distances from subject there is plenty of background separation with the DOF from 85mm f/1.8. Any shallower and the background becomes unrecognizable. 85mm f2 is a sweets spot IMO for portrait work. Offering some macro ability also allows me to get in for tight headshots. I would recommend this to anyone. Pro or amateur alike

High quality, sharp lens well suited for portraits

This one rarely leaves my camera. This lens is a powerhouse!

Sharp images but I wish the bokeh was better. The USM 85mm 1.8 I purchased a month ago wouldn’t manually focus so I had to return and I was to afraid to purchase again. I’m loving that the lens is leightweight. I’d definitely recommend.

If you are a photographer you already know that the 85mm bokeh is of the highest standard. Good crisp lens that’s very fast. Truly my new daily driver lens.

Very nice lens for my application to take portrait

This is a nice prime lens for its low price. Great for low light and produces great looking images.

Very nice! Great quality. Great price. Sure opens up my options when working the camera!

Everything looks sharp except auto focus very slow if you doing video Like me only photo users no problem at all

Love this lens! Excellent quality at an incredible price point. F/2 is wide enough for high quality bokeh and low light response.

Sharp images! I bought this as a beginner who had no idea what I was doing. Didn’t even research it first. Quickly fell in love with the images I was getting. It’s not super heavy and being able to switch from AF/MF quickly is nice. I tend to pick this lens up 9/10 times. Great budget friendly starter.
