Had this lens for 2 years and is hands down one of the best lenses I have tried.

This thread is great. I just received my new 85mm f/1.8 today. I was inspired by all the great pictures on here so I got one. I'd like to get a full frame next but the 5DIII is still pretty expensive. I'm shooting with the T2i now.
Thanks,
Will

Do the aftermarket lens hoods fit and function as well as the OEM from Canon? Just wondering if I need to spend $30+ on the hood.

You know I would say yes. The reason I say yes is that I hated the OEM hood with the pinch style fastener and that is what the cheap 10 dollar hood I bought has as well. It does feel cheap though. However when I suggested to someone else they not spend 30 bucks on a piece of plastic a while back several people gave some reasons that you might want to get the OEM hood. For me the cheapy is working fine.

5 years old yesterday...

I would want to be careful simply because if it is not OEM then you want to make sure it fits properly and stays attached like you want.

Do the aftermarket ones have the sort of fuzzy material on the inside so that light doesn't bounce onto the lens?
