I absolutely love this lens!
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This is the first lens I have used other than the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my camera. I absolutely love it. I bought it for taking portrait shots of my daughter and almost every photo I have taken has looked amazing.

Great lens.

Really really love this lens. Amazing for portrait photography. However, it is not a beginner's lens, as it might seem a bit confusing at first.

Outstanding lens at a fraction of the price of the L-series. If you're looking for a fixed lens, then you can't go far wrong with this beauty.

Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I loved this lens but although I only used it occasionally and it suffered no trauma, something failed after 18 months and auto focus no longer works. Very disappointing as I have bought many lenses second hand which all work perfectly - this was the only lens I bought brand new

The 85mm f1.8 is unbelievably good
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I loved this lens. I did have to return it as I decided that I needed a 50mm lens instead. The 85mm, f1.8 is tack sharp, lovely bokeh and is a bargain. I reluctantly returned it. I take food photographs. This is a great lens for that. It allowed me to get closer than my Canon 100mm F2.8L lens. I love my 100mm lens and that is my work horse. However, I would say that the 85mm f1.8 is as sharp and certainly great value.

Well worth adding to your Canon kit.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

A very good lens - and not just for portraiture. Excellent value - it was selling for £469.99 as far back as 2012. Lighter than many Canon lenses so worth adding to your camera bag on most

Ideal lens for the portrait photographer
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This is one for the portrait photography enthusiasts!
The focus is sharp at any aperture size - wide or shut.

I am using this on a Canon EOS6D and being a full frame camera, there is a bit of lens aberration on some pictures, but nothing that a little photoshop cannot fix.
Its quite a heavy lens, so be ready to lug it around with your kit.
Its a specialised lens which won't replace your regular lens, but will complement it well.
I carry it along with my Canon 24-105 f1.4 L IS normally.

I have been having the most fun since I have got this lens.
Definitely recommended for the portrait fan.

Incredible lense
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Amazing, my favourite lense so far! The bokeh is incredible. But you need a verysteady hand as blurring can happen more easily with this than say a 50mm as there is no image stabilisation.

Quality lens and lightweight to carry.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Traded in the Canon 70-200mm for this. Its a great lens but with travelling around alot with the weight and only using the shorter focal lengths (checked the metadata) I found the 85mm would more than cover my needs. It's very compact, fast to focus and extremely light. I've had it a week and already used it on two shoots and I am very happy with the results.

The Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Lens is a number one choice for portrait photographers, with a wide aperture and versatile focal length.

Capture beautiful people shots

If you're an avid portrait or people photographer, you'll love the combination of a short telephoto 85 mm focal length, large f/1.8 maximum aperture and rapid autofocus in this short/medium telephoto lens.

Enjoy sharp, clear photographs at all apertures with the EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Lens thanks to its virtually circular aperture diaphragm, which helps you achieve softer, more even out-of-focus areas.

Better facial photography

Because of its short telephoto focal length, the EF 85 mm compresses perspective to a certain degree, reducing the size of prominent facial features for photos that are more flattering to your subject.

Subjects that are in-focus will achieve superb definition and contrast against blurred backgrounds, so portraits in particular will attain a compelling look.

Versatile in different lighting conditions

The Canon EF 85 mm Lens offers a large maximum aperture of f/1.8 that lets you shoot hand-held in even difficult conditions with poor lighting. You'll be able to get more creative with the way it restricts depth-of-field.

A non-rotating front element during focusing allows you to use specialist filters such as polarisers and graduates, giving you greater control and creative options.

Ghosting and flare from light bouncing off the sensor are drastically reduced thanks to Super Spectra coatings. You're ensured of exact colour balance and boosted contrast.

Ultrasonic focusing mechanism

Thanks to its USM focus motor with full-time manual focus, the lens performs with superb quietness, whether you're using manual or automatic focus.

A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus very rapidly, in virtual silence. You'll be able to achieve the point of focus easily and precisely because of its excellent holding torque, without overshooting. Adjust focus without leaving AF more with the inclusion of full-time manual override.

In addition to these features, the EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Lens is able to convey distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system, so that you achieve optimum flash metering.

Make sure you've got the ideal portrait lens in your arsenal with the Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Lens.
