[jdlloyd67]

Although my 60mm has become my primary portrait lens, the faithful 85mm always delivers...even in relatively poor lighting.

[spikeystitch]

I tried this lens out again in hope that my feelings about it would change and I'd keep it in my camera bag...the shots speak for themselves. Sharp, well focused and a keeper as far as I'm concerned. I may not like the minimal focus distance but it does provide great IQ.

1.) Testing it out on the streets.

Regardless of how your 400D performed in low-light, I have to say that's a great shot Chris. :cool:

[Vanthel]

I really liked this on my 40D but now for some really odd reason, I find the focal length too LONG on a FF if anything, oddly. Think I'll sell for a 50 1.4 or 135

EXIF says that the aperture for your shot was f1.2. Were you using the 85 1.2L? This is a picture thread for the 85 1.8. This only caught my attention because that looks like a background blurring effect that only the 85 1.2L can produce.

would've gotten myself a 135L last time, but this little gem bought my heart in terms of it's performance at an even better offer! :D

First shots with my 85, i've had this awesome lens for so long but just haven't used it as i'm so addicted to my 28mm, so I was in my room earlier and just took pictures of random stuff I have.

I pp'd a little just slight curves and sharpening and eye pop in the fellas eyes, that was my first attempt let me know what you guys think.

I'm so loving this lens that I've had for a week or so. I keep looking for reasons to use it because it's so much fun.

f/1.8 - 1/1600sec - ISO 100

Hi all, I have someone locally who is willing to sell this lens to me for $350 with a hood included.
Is that a good deal? Or should I just buy online?

I think you can do better than that. I got mine for close to $300 new, from Adorama off ebay.

Beach Camera (another good seller). It is $380, true. With cash back it'll come back out to $350. And you get warranty. Buy with Amex or other card that offers it, and you have a two year warranty. Buy knockoff hood.

Yeah, I actually decided to buy new from B&H, just because I am still wary of buying a used lens. It should arrive Tuesday!

I also got a UV filter and lens hood, 2-day air, comes to $435.00, not bad.

Wonderful lens. Sharp as a razor

You bought a 2nd hood for the lens? It already comes with hood

It didn't say it was included in the box on the B&H website, just includes front and rear caps. Guess you got a good deal. :)

I think your mistaken. Generally only Canon's L lenses come with hoods. Mine certainly didn't.

No, it does not.
