Rated 5 out of 5 by from canon 85mm 1.8 lens Have only used it a couple of times, but happy with it. Can't wait to use it on the grandkid, since he's always moving the lower aperture should help quite a bit. Said refurbished, but looks just like new. I will be buying again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple, No frills, Beautiful photography Bought this new (from a different website) about two months ago. I already had a 35mm, a 100mm, and a zoom lens, but THIS? This 85mm? Prefect! And you don't have to think about it too long because it is not $$$$. The price is so affordable that even if you only use it for a few weeks it's worth it! I use it for baby photos and pictures of kids eating, running, playing--this stuff could easily go in a magazine, and I'm not even a professional!
