Key Features
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22
- Super Spectra Coating
- Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System
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.

question
Does this lens zoom at all or is it set to 85mm?
No, this lens does not zoom. This is what is referred to as a Fixed focal or prime lens. Whenever you see a lens listed with a single number designating the focal, it is understood to be a non-zoom. Whenever you see a lens labled with two focals seperated by a dash (i.e. 18-55mm) that would indicate a lens with the zoom feature.
