Damaged glass. There are better ones, of course, but this 85 doesn’t get any worse)
11 July 2015 
He wants a lens hood, but not too much... The FF is great for shooting from short distances, crop users will have to run further away)).. In the rush, I wrote my last name incorrectly in the comments to other people's reviews - in fact, I'm BUSLAYEV)
The glass is excellent - 1.8 working, the focus is accurate, the grip naturally corresponds to the hole, the zoom with your feet makes you pay more attention to framing at the shooting stage and contributes to a more attentive attitude to the background (although it blurs nicely). Since an unwanted background that breaks and doubles in blur rarely appears in the frame, for me this is 99.9999% perfect glass with a frame of 85mm. The design is a good middle ground between L and budget quality. The price for a good portrait is almost a gift.
From the "so-called" downsides (which are actually features) there are only minimal focal length and not the best blurring on various bushes-trees and so on. Among the real downsides is the customary stinginess of Canon in the size of a piece of plastic weighing like a lens hood. Do they have such issues with plastic or is it a crazy saving on it? Astonishing equine stinginess that for years has forced people to think poorly of Canon. What are their wooden marketers looking at? They should have made all their glasses 5-10 bucks more expensive, but with lens hoods - AND THAT'S IT! Astonishing behavior from what should be quite smart people.

Overall, a functional lens (sharpness, aperture, body, design)
21 February 2015 
How can I say, I cannot be as satisfied with the purchase as possible (as I am always dissatisfied in life). In search of something incredible.. To create and capture people in a frame, this lens works for both amateurs and professionals (but I, of course, would like more functionality in future developments. I have no complaints about this lens. According to the script: My desire as a photographer, throughout my life, is to buy a lens that would naturally highlight my rich imagination and turn my world and people upside down.
Of course, the amount of light transmission of the lens and its precise focusing (depth of field) on objects, people, animals and others. Just right as a portrait painter, at least for me. The aperture is high, I noticed that the lens itself is made of a reliable body and design (aspherical lens). Soft bokeh is obtained, since the lens is designed for maximum blurred background and at the same time, the lens, at all its values, presents an acceptable aperture, I get clean and sharp shots.
Insignificant, if you know the secrets of science (lighting) and quality shooting. The rear lens gets dusty (but it can be fixed). It struggles to focus in dark places, but for this, you need to know the rules (and when buying this lens, read its capabilities) it chromaticizes.

The "EF" marking on the lens barrel indicates its compatibility with both Canon's full-frame SLR solutions and APS-C and APS-H cropped cameras. In the latter cases, the focal length of the lens will increase to 136 and 110.5 mm, respectively.

portraiture

The sharpness of the lens for portrait photography is manifested in a strong blurring of the background, which can be achieved at f/1.8-f/2.8 apertures. At the same time, the 8-blade diaphragm turns small objects in the blur zone into smooth discs that are pleasing to the eye, thus creating spectacular bokeh. The reverse side of the medal when shooting on open apertures is the possibility of spurious aberrations appearing in the form of lilac or purple lines at the borders of light and dark areas of the image. Their suppression is carried out using the software of the camera itself or during post-processing of the footage.

Nimble

An important advantage of the lens over the representative of the main competing system (Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f / 1.8G) is the nimble operation of the quiet ultrasonic autofocus motor, which can quickly and accurately concentrate on the subject even in poor lighting conditions. Details, colour reproduction and a high level of image contrast also deserve high praise.

Desired

There are a minimum of complaints about the assembly of the lens. It will turn out to find fault only with a small backlash of the manual focus ring, as well as with its small travel in manual focus mode (within 90 °). Otherwise, all structural elements can boast of high quality, despite the almost complete predominance of plastic among the materials. Complementing the pleasant impressions of the lens is its affordable price, which puts the model in line with one of the most desirable options for purchase by Canon brand adherents.

Short description:

Professional portrait lens. Aperture 1.8 allows you to flexibly control the depth of field. The design uses an aspherical lens. The internal focus system provides convenient work with effective light filters.
