Style: 85mm For Canon EF/EF-S Mount
The media could not be loaded. Sharing photos in my review because when I was deciding I wish I saw better photos of the lens so I hope this helps someone else make their decision. I am in love with this lens. I’ve owned the Canon 70-200mm (three times), Tamron 70-200mm (twice) and they all had to be returned because they were just too heavy. I wanted a lens that was incredibly light weight (since I were heels everyday) and a lens that gave the same quality (bokeh, sharpness, effects). I love the manual setting because I have 100% full control. It fits perfectly with my canon 6D. The clarity is great once you edit the photos for enhancement. The sharpness is also great when you edit. I hope this was helpful. Take care.

Got for my canon R50. Works great just have to be sure to change settings to snap without lens as this lens doesn’t have grooves to be read. It has decent weight not light weight, but far from heavy. Fits my camera perfectly with a tight fit.

Generally, my initial impressions of this lens was reasonably favorable, considering the very low price. Most everything is made of metal, including the nice lens hood. One thing I immediately noticed is there is some wiggle when the lens is attached to my Canon. The lens itself is very secure, so that is not an issue. But the slot in the lens that captures the locking pin on the camera is a bit too large. This wiggle appears to have only one negative effect, which is during focusing. This lens is very sensitive on focus distance, so when you change focus the entire lens will rotate a slight amount until the focus ring starts working. With most lenses, this really would not be much of an issue, but due to the small depth of field with this lens, small focus adjustments are common. So, this slight movement before a change in focus is a little irritating. I am not sure if it causes a light leak as well. There is another slight mis-description in the Amazon listing, which seems to suggest a filter thread of 72mm. That is referring to the thread used by the hood, which fits on the outside of the lens, not the inside. The front of the lens has both internal and external threads. The external thread is 72mm and the internal filter thread diameter is 55mm. I did attach an older 55mm filter I had laying around and it allowed me to attach the larger 72mm hood over it at the same time, which is handy. I'm not sure all 55mm filters will work. If they are too large of a shoulder, it might interfere with the hood. Update: I have a second problem. The 3 screws on the back of the lens are loose (see picture), which also causes some of the jiggling of the lens as these screws hold the Canon EOS interface mount to the body of the lens. When I tighten these screws to remove the slack, it makes it almost impossible to turn the f-stop ring. If I left these screws untightened, I think they would eventually loosen completely and fall out. If I were unlucky, it might happen when I was removing the lens, and a small screw could fall into the body of the camera. I contacted Lightdow about both of these problems, including sending pictures, and the only response I got was this was something that was within normal engineering tolerances. I could live with the slot problem, but not the 3 loose screws and unusable f-stop ring. Second Update: I put the lens on a bench and loosened the screws on the mount and then gently tightened them to ensure the mount was sitting evenly on the lens. After that, I rotated the f-stop ring about 50 times. It eventually started to move more freely. After that, I finished tightening the screws and did about 50 more rotations of the f-stop ring. It can now by rotated freely. I am guessing there was some kind of edge or loose piece of plastic flashing of the f-stop ring. I note that the detents on the f-stop ring are sloppy. I still have the problem of the lens not having a tight fit on the camera which is not fixable. You can tell the lens will not be tight on the camera because the plastic rear lens cap fits loosely. On all my other Canon and Canon-compatible lenses, the rear lens cap has a close fit and is not loose. I have had additional communications with Lightdow, so they are at least responsive. It seems they have some basic QC or design issues on the mechanical side of things. Final Update: Lightdow was pretty good about responding to my issues. They offered a partial refund, which I accepted. As a result, I decided to keep the lens as I kind of liked the optics. I think with a little bit of QC and re-engineering, they could easily fix these problems. P.S. Most users probably realize this, but the 85mm focal length is with respect to a full-frame sensor. On a cropped sensor camera that uses a APS-C sensor, such as a Canon Rebel camera, this lens behaves more like a 135mm lens. To get the same field of view that you would expect with a 85mm portrait lens on a full-frame camera, you have to move farther away from the subject. This also affects depth of field (it increases depth of field, which means less Bokeh with cropped sensor camera compared to a full-frame sensor).

Loveeeeee this lens, it worked so well with my canon m50, you just have to get the right adapter and enable the lens in the cameras settings in order for it to work. Other than that, it does a phenomenal job and the price is just unbeatable
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025 by I love it! It’s soft and think so it won’t be overwhelming to wear for long hours. I am 5ft tall and it fit just a little big which is great! I bought two and I do not regret it
