description : 
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability. Images are sharp and clear at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur. Since the front lens group does not rotate during focusing special filter effects are not affected.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

by productwiki.com Monday, January 01, 0001
Review : The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM is a medium telephoto lens built for everyday use. This is similar to the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM, the main difference being a maximum aperture of f/1.8. The weight has been reduced to just under half that of the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM as well. A circular aperture is used to capture subjects with a narrow depth of field, giving the background a natural blur. The Ultrasonic focus acts quickly and silently in a rear focusing system. This keeps the lens at the same length regardless of focus, and the front lens does not rotate allowing any applied filters to remain in place. Features Medium telephoto lens Ultrasonic focus Narrow depth of field Front lens does not rotate during focusing Focal Length: 85mm Maximum Aperture: 1:1.8 Lens Construction: 9 elements in 7 groups Diagonal Angle of View: 28 deg Focus Adjustment: ... PROS: (1) Functions very well as a portrait lens - detail, clarity and color balance are top notch (2) Shutter speeds are very fast - excellent for low-light applications at "wide open" settings (3) Depth-of-field and bokeh effects are easily achieved - 8-way aperture control enables full control of blur levels (4) Size/weight are well-suited to Canon SLRs - provides excellent balance between components for comfort and confidence (5) Provides a considerable increase in versatility as compared to the 85mm f/1.4 model - suitable for wide-angle group and establishing shots due to increased aperture ... CONS: (1) Lacks a functional zoom range - may not be suitable for inexperienced users unfamiliar with manual viewfinder adjustment (2) Does not include a dedicated carrying case - may cause frustration amongst new users who have yet to build a larger camera gear bag
