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.

This is a very useful lens and I think it is the cheapest on the market, it is incredible that for this price you can have an 85mm F1.8, excellent lenses and a well-designed structure, the focus motor is not as fast as a Prime lens, but this is very good, for video using the automatic focus I do not recommend it since it makes a little noise, for photos it is great. Its minimum focal length of 0.85 is incredible and very precise, without a doubt Meike is making good lenses

Great lens. MUCH MUCH CHEAPER PRICE BUT JUST AS GOOD AS A CANON. Only flaw is the sound of the auto focus. Very loud

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.

If this works for you, then great! I thought the reviews mentioning a loud autofocus were exaggerating. Wow was I wrong. Sounds like a drill when you're checking the battery. Assuming that doesn't bother you and you need support. Good luck getting any response. No email or chat response. I tried updating firmware off their website. It's in a different language with zero instructions. The worst part is downloading what looks like the correct file, only to realize this lens has an absurd and laughable 20kb of storage space. Leaving only 18.5kb to the end user. Can't copy any firmware updates bigger than that. Which is to say all of them on their support website except one. Which the lens won't even do anything with. Why was I trying to update? The autofocus was not working. I figured it was my camera. It was not. Tried a different camera and it also did not work. Lens is recognized on PC so it's not dead, the autofocus is. After exhausting my options, I will be returning this lens and never dealing with Meike again. Stay far away from this company since there's no support.

Very good lens. Have one for mft and love that one, bought one for canon and still love it. The lens is sharp at f4, good for portraits at f2.8 (a little soft, but makes face look nice). If you know how and what to use this lens for it works very well. It is quite sturdy (metal and plastic construction) smooth focus, nice background. Overall: very good lens for the $$, recommended.
