It’s great for the price. It is noisy and AF can take a few seconds but for the price you can’t beat it.

When I decided to try a f/1.8 telephoto lens for my Canon EOS EF camera, I had some reservations. Its price was attractive, and I always look for gear that balances performance and economy. After using it in several sessions, I can confirm that this lens has surprised me. Design and Build As soon as I took it out of the box, the lens felt solid. Its weight and structure inspire confidence. The manual focus ring moves smoothly, making precise adjustments easier, especially in controlled environments. Although it weighs a bit more than I expected, it was never uncomfortable to use. Optical Performance The main attraction of this lens is its f/1.8 aperture, and it certainly delivers. I mainly used it for portraits, and the background blur (bokeh) it produces is stunning. Subjects truly stand out, and the backgrounds are beautifully blurred. In low-light conditions, it also performs quite well, allowing me to work without relying too much on high ISO. Value for Money Where this lens excels is in its value for money. For the price, it offers more than I expected. It's an ideal option for those just starting out in photography or looking for a secondary lens without breaking the bank. Final Verdict This f/1.8 telephoto lens is a reliable option for those looking for professional results without a hefty price tag. Its optical performance and affordable price make it a dependable tool for portraits and creative photography. If you're considering a lens of this type, I’d say it's worth it.

I have only just recived this lense today, and it's 9° here in Minnesota, so I haven't really stepped out with this yet. I did, however, take quite a few shots in the house tonight. I will update with some images at a later date. First, I want to address the auto focus noise/ speed. It is a bit noisy, but I shoot theater productions, and in most cases, I would be comfortable shooting with this lense. It is a gentle noise. Not an aggressive grinding as I was led to believe by other comments. I have had point and shoot cameras in the past that have been equally as noisy. It is a little slow to find focus, but not terrible. I got several great shots of my cats who were moving around quite a bit. One of them is a black cat, and rather hard to photograph due to contrast issues. Second, I tried out a canon professional level 85mm lens a week ago and was cooing over the sharpness and Bokeh, and this 179.00 lens really impressed me. It was obviously not to the same caliber, but it is very nice! I'm looking forward to getting out and shooting with this. I also just bought a beautiful Tamron 35mm lense, and I'm looking forward to testing both. For reference, for those wondering about the auto focus working, as I was. I have 2 Canon 2000D/T7 bodies, and auto focus works just fine. They are inexpensive bodies, but turn great quality images with good lenses, and this has not shown to be an excaption. I'll update soon.

I bought this lens for my crop sensor Canon DSLR. Since it's a crop sensor camera, this 85mm lens equates to about a 135mm lens. I have a 50mm f1.8 lens which equates to about an 80mm lens, so I bought this one for something a bit longer. I didn't want to spend a lot on it since I won't use it that much, but it would be nice to have in the kit with such a low f-stop when needed. For the money, literally hundreds less than name brand 85mm lenses, this lens is a keeper. I have a couple minor complaints, but then again, I wasn't expecting it to be perfect for the price, and it worked out better that I ever expected. All the attached photos were taken the day I got the lens. They were all shot between about 11pm and 11:30pm, at ISO 400 or 1600, f1.8, handheld, between 1/25 and 1/125 of a second. First off, this lens does not have image stabilization. So, since it acts like a mid-range telephoto lens, shooting skill or use of a mono or tripod may be needed at slower shutter speeds to minimize blur. Second, the autofocus is loud. Not real loud, but definitely more noisy than any Canon or Sigma lens I own. Noticeably louder. If using this lens shooting a wedding, it would be heard, unlike my Canon or Sigma lenses. Third, at f1.8, with high contract objects, like light bulbs against a night sky, or tree leaves against a bright sky, there is noticeable purple fringing. At f2.0, it's barely perceptible, and at f2.8 and above, it's gone. This purple fringing is not uncommon for many lenses when they are used wide open. It is also very fixable in photo editing programs. Most have a "de-fringe" kind of setting that when checked, removed it. All the light bulbs in the attached photos had some purple fringing, but my software removed it with just the click of a checkbox in the program. The images are a bit soft wide open at f1.8 (not a bad thing actually), noticeably improved at f2.0, and at f2.8, I'd rate it excellent for sharpness. At f4.0 to f11, the photos are stunning. A bit of chromatic aberration starts to be noticeable if you look for it, but it won't jump out at you. At f16 and f22, it is more notable, but again, it's not that uncommon for many lenses at those really small apertures. I didn't include any daytime shots, because if you like the night shots I uploaded at f1.8, you're going to love your photos in daylight. The lens seems solidly built. It is a plastic lens rather than metal, so it's not one you would want to treat poorly, but the mount is a metal ring and connects solidly. I don't know what the longevity will be. At this price, some corners obviously need to be cut. Time will tell, and I'll update if there is something new to report. I have no idea how photos from this lens would look on a full frame sensor camera, but on my crop sensor, they're better and more than I was expecting for the price. For me, it's a worthwhile addition to my kit at this price, for the occasional times I need this focal length.

The lens itself is fine, it is kinda loud and slow for auto focus but the sharpness and quality is great. The only thing that sucks is the hood that was supposed to come with the lens did not. I contacted customer service and while they were more than glad to send out another hood for the lens it’s coming from China and the tracking is from a company I don’t recognize and it’s supposed to be 18 days from today before it even get to the post office, and it’s been some days already. I’m not sure if that’s any post office or my local post office. It took 2 days to get the lens and now I’ll be waiting over a month for the hood that was supposed to come with it.
