Style: MF 85mm Lens For Canon EF/EF-S Mount
I’ve had this item in my cart for months. I have really wanted to try to expand on my photography but can’t spend hundreds of dollars on name brand. This lens works beautifully. Aside from the box being open (picture is from when I took it out of the Amazon packaging) nothing was wrong with it. I love the images I’ve captured with it already. If you’re questioning it like I was, I would definitely recommend it.

Style: MF 85mm Lens For Canon EF/EF-S Mount
Jokingly bad lens. Even at infinity, when trying to focus on stars at anything other than f22, the image comes out unusably blurry. Unironically the most abysmal lens I've had to displeasure of wasting 80 dollars on. It'll focus on stars just fine at f22, but at that point it's beyond useless. Also, it's smaller in diameter than the EF mount so you end up with light leak due to the gap between the lens and body. The focus ring is stiff, the aperture ring feels cheap and plasticy, it's all around just not a good lens. Not sure if I just got a dud, guess we'll see when my replacement arrives. As of right now, however, I can NOT recommend this lens to ANYONE who isn't trying to take portraits of people standing exactly ~4-5ft away. FWIW, if nothing else, this lens is mostly metal and feels substantial, just a shame it doesn't perform to that level (or at all really).

Style: MF 85mm Lens For Canon EF/EF-S Mount
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).
