Pros: Very good image quality - sharp, good contrast and bokeh. Light, compact, fast and silent AF with FTM, popular 58mm filter thread. And all that for less than $400.

Cons: Color aberrations (the fringing) can be too much sometimes, in some specific lighting conditions. Disappointing lens hood design, and it's not included. The minimum focusing distance is 0.85m and it doesn't make it a good close-up lens.

Opinion: In short, for the price, it's a dream lens. A wonderful option for someone starting his FF adventure. The moment I put it on my 5D2 for the first time it was like magic. I could shoot a nice, or seemingly flawless picture of anything and everything with it. Almost no boring images. I even kept many misfocused ones. Compared to a cheap 50F1.8, this is a next level lens. And it's the level that I'm comfortable with to this day. However, if you have an extra $100 lying around, then you might like its bigger "sister" more, the EF 100F2 USM, which is a bit better in many aspects, same level though :).

Pros: Great quality at TA. Small and pocket-sized. Great value for money.

Cons: It does not have stabilization.

Opinion: I feel like criticizing only the lack of stabilization as a real defect, at 85mm the tremors can be felt more in videos (also because the lens is light and does not give solidity and firmness to the hand), even if having the Canon R6 has the stabilized sensor I can't complain too much. For the rest it's FINE. The image at f/1.8 is already sharp and contrasted, at f/2.5/2.8 the photos become poetry. The focusing speed is good, but less fast than the 50mm f1.4 and not suitable for videos in my opinion because it is not 100% reliable, it happens sometimes chw does not take focus. 85mm is a narrow focal length but still very manageable. I use it to take photos in crossfit competitions where I can get very close to the athletes to take beautiful portraits. Highly recommended because it adds that something extra and stands out from the classic 70-200 f/2.8 and can be found at a really cheap price.

Pros: Size, brightness, price, overall sharpness

Cons: Chromatic aberrations and edge sharpness

Opinion: Fantastic lens in relation to its price, really a must buy for those who want a telephoto not too pushed and with a very pleasant blur. The auto focus is excellent, aberrations are present when there is strong contrast but can be solved in post with a little work. Sharp enough, the edges aren't always perfect, but in the end if you're using it for portraiture it's not that crucial.

Pros: Lightweight, bright, second-hand price, ductile

Cons: not having it

Opinion: To summarize at best, one could say: little expense, maximum yield. Great for portraiture, but also very useful in more dynamic situations, to the point that I often take it with me when I go to take pictures at volleyball matches or fencing competitions. From its compactness and lightness, but above all the cost on the second-hand market that make it perfect for an entry into the world of portraiture without breaking the bank for the f/1.4 or the magnificent f/1.2. Absolutely recommended.

Pros: Price, sharpness, AF, size

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Taken used, I have been using it for several months. I also realized services of events not simple as to available light. He has always behaved well. Fast in hooking the subject, precise and silent. Sharp images even at TA, from 2.8 onwards (aperture I use more often) is a blade. It solves very well even on dated sensors type 5d MK2, what can I say? At the price at which you can find today and for the focal length that it is, it is an absolute must have.
