Product Description
CANON 85mm f 1.8 Series EF USM Telephoto Lens -- A medium telephoto prime lens (not a zoom lens) with outstanding delineation and practical light weight.
Amazon.com Product Description
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Canon EF 85mm lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur, thereby bringing your subject into crisp view. The ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) and fast f/1.8 aperture, meanwhile, helps the subject zip into focus in the viewfinder. And because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, special filter effects are not affected. Best of all, the standard zoom lens--with its natural angle of view and perspective--captures the subject plainly, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty. - Focal length: 85mm

 Canon 85mmm F/1.8 lens usm October 6, 2008
Harold W. Motte (South Carolina, USA)
A very nice lens. Sharp and fast af. In a small gym or interior area you may need the 50mm 1.4 due to the crop factor. On a Canon 40D it is the equiv. of a 80mm lens in 35mm film terms.
Still a great lens for a lot of applications.
Excellent September 30, 2008

I had been wanting this lens for quite sometime and after reading several reviews myself in how great it is, I am incredibly happy I made the decision to purchase! An excellent lens it is, perfect focal lenth for portraits.
 What a Bargain ! September 30, 2008
"Clark W." (New Jersey, USA)
I got this lens a few weeks ago,and have been thrilled with it! It's definately not "L" build quality, but it's great optically. Color saturation is very rich, and I haven't seen any color fringing. And boy is it sharp! It's my favorite go to lens for portraits,as the bokeh is nice and smooth and the perspective is very flattering. It's usable wide open, and by f/2or 2.8 it's sharper than any of my 6 other lenses. Get the hood, because no other hood will attach to it .
AWESOME GLASS! August 25, 2008

I am in love with this lens! I don't think it's work the extra $700 for the 1.3 L series - this lens does the trick! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
