Amazon.com Product Description
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Canon EF 85mm lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur, thereby bringing your subject into crisp view. The ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) and fast f/1.8 aperture, meanwhile, helps the subject zip into focus in the viewfinder. And because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, special filter effects are not affected. Best of all, the standard zoom lens--with its natural angle of view and perspective--captures the subject plainly, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty. - Focal length: 85mm

 AWESOME GLASS! August 25, 2008
I am in love with this lens! I don't think it's work the extra $700 for the 1.3 L series - this lens does the trick! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
85mm f/1.8 USM July 19, 2008
Fantastic image quality lens. Mine is mated with the Rebel XTi, and produces great results. Light, fast and tack sharp.
Great Lens July 2, 2008
This lens is amazing!
I purchased this lens to use for my daughter's vollyball pictures and I couldn't be happier...
Worth it! June 21, 2008
This is a light weight, fast focusing lens with excellent image quality. Open the aperture wide and get beautifully blurred backgrounds. Definately worth the price.

Yes, you want this lens, (or the "L"-glass version, if your wallet can afford the $1700 plus cost-this "non-L" version is around $350) even if you have something that covers this range. This is some finely crafted glass, and a best buy in terms of cost-to-benefit ratio. You get speed, DOF control, beautiful bokeh, and it's darn cheap to get into the whole world of protraiture, if you think about it.
You want this for portraits. Everybody and everything from your dog to the Queen of E looks silkier, more soulful and more loveable with this lens. It's perfect on a Canon 5D.
People say that it's not the equipment-it's the photographer. But, in this case, it really is the equipment. You can do natural-light photography under difficult and trying conditions, and you've got plenty of room to spare in the ISO, aperture and shutter speeds, because this lens is so fast and responsive. The lens is light and portable so you can take it everywhere. Once you "get" the feel of the fixed focal distance you just intuitively snap pics of the sweetest sweetness. Seriously, my friends think I'm a good photographer. Between you and I it's just that this lens rocks!
