5 out of 5 stars   Great camera lens to an extent
By Tank on February 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Not too bulky. Lens functions great. Crisp shots.
Cons: When they say 'Portrait" lens they mean it. It really is made for close-up head shot portraits rather than family/group shots. You would have to really distance yourself for group photos with this camera.
Other Comments: Still a nice addition to my camera bag:-)

5 out of 5 stars   Awesome glass!
By lola on March 01, 2014
Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: I had the FD version of this for 30 years and it was my portrait lens for the entire time. Wonderful images! I just bought the EF copy for my 5D. I shot handheld in a dim restaurant at f1.8, 1/60th and ISO1600 and the images were tack sharp. It was my 3 year old grandson and focus locked immediately and quietly on his eyes. Of course his ears were out of focus, but it gave a nice, dreamy look to the shots. Very impressive wide open and gets better from there. Do not hesitate (as Ken Rockwell says), BUY THIS LENS!!!!!!
Cons: Absolutely nothing!
Other Comments: Great price, awesome lens!

4 out of 5 stars   Snappy focus, a bargain low light lens.
By DaveNYC on January 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Consistent Output, Nice Bokeh, Lightweight, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
Other Comments: I needed a little more reach and better wide open performance than my Canon 50mm 1.4, operating in low light events. While most of my subjects don't move fast, a couple do, so snappy auto focus was a must. I'm happy to say this lens, shooting at 1.8, does everything I need to do without crowding my subject. Used on my 5D Mk III at typically ISO 6400, the results are very usable shooting at f 1.8/2, even cropping in up to at least halfway. Used with a hood, I have not seen any flare yet.

By Texas Daddy on December 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Nice Bokeh, Strong Construction, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
Other Comments: Excellent for taking no flash action shots inside gymnasiums - this is the sole reason I bought this lens. Also great for portraits, but its pretty long on a crop sensor so you must stand back a bit.

5 out of 5 stars   My First Piece of Glass
By Larry the Lawyer on June 05, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Nice Bokeh
Cons:
Other Comments: I am an attorney who creates hundreds of educational videos. This is lens is part and parcel of a new video series, and exploration into better video production. My first piece of fixed, high quality glass (Canon Red Series), and worth the money. My only caveat is that it requires more focal distance than I imagined. Making it a bit harder for the solo artist to set up the shot and run back into position. I'm just marking the ground/floor.

Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Great Lens Great Price, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Lightweight
Cons:
Other Comments: I have been a Nikon shooter for 50 years, and just got a Canon 6D with 24-105 zoom. I wanted to buy a couple of prime lenses for working in low light, and for doing astrophotography. So I am new to Canon, but this 85mm lens is really wonderful, as is the 35mm f/2.

By Larry on May 22, 2013

Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Nice Bokeh, Durable, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
Other Comments: Great lens with superb clarity stopped down. Beautiful bokeh wide open. On my Canon 60D with a 1.6 crop sensor the range is longer than I anticipated but I knew that before purchasing it. This lens compliments my EF 50mm F1.4 USM.

Review submitted for Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN85USM)
Pros: Strong Construction, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Nice Bokeh
Cons:
Other Comments: Great lens. I have a crop sensor so I wasn't sure I'd need this focal length, but so far it's been useful when trying to get up close to a subject without intruding. I'd say I still use the 50mm 1.4 more, but this was a nice addition to the collection.
