Initially, I put it on a 7DMK2 crop body and I wasn't impressed. For the past 1.5 years, I've been using it on the EOS R and I can say that it is the best lens I have tried. Besides the incredibly fast and accurate focus, the image quality is unbelievable. Detail, bokeh, and colors are amazing. Considering that the lens was designed by CANON about 20 years ago, we are talking about a small "gem". Finally, its price is such that any enthusiast can have it in their bag.

Awesome lens for portraits! Very sharp with great resolution! Very good quality-price ratio. It doesn't distort the features of the subject you're photographing. I recommend it!

Good cheap quality lens .. good focus and very detailed below f2.8 .... sharper than the two 50mm lenses I have (1.8 stm 2.5macro) from 2.8 and below approximately at the same levels as the sigma 85mm lenses even though they open up to f1.4.. and their bokeh is buttery...

Quiet, fast AF, extremely sharp even at 1.8, but it does exhibit chromatic aberration at 1.8 which disappears at f 2.0 and below

-Fast and accurate autofocus!
-Lightweight
-Compact size
-Very good build quality
-Quiet (for those who are interested)
I use it on both full frame and crop bodies, in low light conditions, comfortably. The 1.8 aperture helps a lot! The quality of the photos is excellent!

A lens mainly for portraits, that a professional photographer must have! Simply fantastic! Fast in focusing, crisp image and more compact than the f1.2..!

Every serious manufacturer of photographic systems designs and produces lenses that stand out from all others for their exceptional performance in optical terms. Usually, these lenses cost a small fortune. However, rarely, and in moments of great inspiration, some manufacturers offer lenses of exceptional performance that have an excellent cost-quality-performance ratio.

One of these is undoubtedly the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM.

A favorite portrait lens for many photographers working with the Canon system, it performs exceptionally well in tests and evaluations, even from the most demanding print and photography equipment review websites.

It is worth mentioning that its compact dimensions and light weight are another significant advantage, especially when considering its high brightness (f/1.8) and its compatibility with all Canon EOS bodies (full frame and/or APS-C).

Conclusion: The EF 85mm f/1.8 is a lens that should and can (due to its cost and size) be a part of the bag of any demanding photographer who belongs to the Canon camp and has high expectations, both at an amateur and professional level.
