The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens is a lightweight, affordable short-telephoto prime lens prized for portraiture, low-light shooting, and smooth background blur.
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.
