Prized for portraiture, the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM from Canon is a short-telephoto prime characterized by its slightly compressed perspective for achieving flattering results. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture also enables isolating subjects and working with shallow depth of field techniques, and further benefits working in low-light conditions. Helping to achieve high color fidelity and contrast, a Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements and serves to minimize reflections, lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, a ring-type USM is employed to deliver quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22
- Super Spectra Coating
- Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Reviews
Perfect portrait lens
Absolutely love this lens. Exactly what I was looking for!
Fantastic lens
Excellent Lens for the price! Works well and condition is like new.
Excellent Lens for Portrait
Very good Bokeh and great image quality for portrait.
Very good
Its my favorite lens for portraits. Very good overall, shows some chromatic aberration here and there. A better lens costs much more, weighs a ton and leaves you broke. So, it gets 5 stars, in part for value and portability.
Portrait Lens
I bought this a month ago and I haven't used it much, but so far I love it.
canon 85mm 1.8 lens
Have only used it a couple of times, but happy with it. Can't wait to use it on the grandkid, since he's always moving the lower aperture should help quite a bit. Said refurbished, but looks just like new. I will be buying again.
I'm satisfied
I bought this as a long overdue addition to my older APS-C Canon DSLR / kit lens combo thinking I would buy a full-frame / EF mount in the future. Am very pleased with its low light capability, but since it's not image stabilized, nor is my camera, I'm limited to tripod mounted use in low light. However, that's changing now that I'm upgrading camera's that has IS. Funny thing is I'm getting a RF-mount, so I'll need the EF-RF adapter now.
Cool
Cool product. Great experience! B&H photo offers the best service
