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

I absolutely love this lens. I use it for macro and portraits. Beautiful crisp clear images. This is the lens that usually stays on my camera. Took a little time to get the hang of using all the settings on this lens.

Beautiful pics, but I’m just not a fixed lens girl and on my cropped sensor it’s too far of a focal length.

Great for portraits! The auto focus is slow but the focus and the quality of the pictures is amazing k do recommend to buy but not for use in things like weddings since you need to have something that focus a lot faster… other than that tbh my favorite lense

This is a fun lens to work with. The images are sharp, creates an amazing shallow depth of field, and the 85mm focal length gives a great perspective to the subject. Certainly an easy choice to add to a kit and is priced reasonably! Using an EOS RP with this.

Getting clear crisp images with this lens. It is a tad on the hefty size/weight, but manageable.
