What's the better lens. This or the canon 1.8


Had a 6D....
Then had a daughter....
Now have an SL2 and Mavic Pro.... Man life changes.
I would encourage you... To just go for it.

The Bell+Howell is manual focus only, but if that doesn't matter to you I think you would be very happy with it vs the 85/1.8. Faster, cheaper, great IQ.

^ Not to mention a lot less CA


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

CA is easy to fix on the 85L in lightroom & CR. Well, I've had no problem making corrections. :D

Most people would be happier with the Canon. But this one is a 2/3 a stop faster and 2/3 the price of a used Canon 85mm.

True, but IMO, it shouldn't be a step that's necessary. It's just my pet peeve about the lens (and I own it).

It was designed for film 25 years ago. The Purple fringe didn't happen nearly as bad on film.
