    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.

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

    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
