Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

catza.net photos: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

• a great lens for those that need something longer than the sister lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
• estimated retail price 420 EUR
• in my use from 1/2007 to 12/2010
• felt a little long on 1.6x crop body but on 1.3x crop body became the most used lens

• good image quality: rich colors, high contrast and good sharpness
• usable even at f/1.8 (although sharper at f/2.2 and f/2.8)
• has a reliable and quiet autofocus
• lightweight

• has a tendency to show green and purple color shifts in out of focus areas as its sister lens
