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

    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.
