  1. AlesaS

    This product has really been amazing! I got it for my husband for his birthday and he said hes never had a better lens!

  2. Yaruq

    Sharp and fast- best part is the dial that you can customize for anything such as aperture or iso settings- great lens for low light

  3. EricC

    If you are a beginner photographer starts from small and cheaper lens until step for a better lens.

  4. GeorgeS

    Great lens! I have to buy another camera bc it doesn’t fit on my m50 but gets great pictures

  5. MaggieT

    Best “budget” RF lens for both portait and Macro photography.

  6. AndrewH

    When I bought this lens I was sort of skeptical of using an 85mm prime. But when I put it on my canon r10 it was truly a blessin

  7. KristinaK

    My dream lens , I am so happy with the quality , and this price was the best

  8. CynthaT

    Great lens, I really like how easy it is to use the lens and get great quality images. Whether I am inside or outside this lens is great.

  9. AnthonyR

    Great lens with insane bokeh. A little slow to focus for moving objects, but awesome for portrait and macro photography. Also slow for video but beautiful lens effects on still shots.

  10. Budz

    It is a very good quality lens for mirrorless camera. The bokah is awesome. And doesn’t break the bank.

  11. AlexSky

    Great Lens! Would recommend to anyone who likes to focus on something!

  12. SamanthaE

    Absolutely LOVE this lens! it’s now my go to lens for my photo shoots- I never change it! The only thing that bothers me sometimes is how slow the focus can be.

  13. EAldinger

    I returned this. My $100 canon ef 50mm 1.8 lens outperforms this lens in every scenario. I shoot wedding videography and need something much sharper and quicker with the auto focus. Save your money and get the canon ef 50mm 1.8 stm with adapter for your EOS R and thank me later!! FRFR

  14. Photographer

    I didn’t like the sound. But the pictures look great.

  15. Unknown

    For the price you just can’t beat this amazing macro, especially for portraits!

  16. Kyle

    Extremely amazing photos with this lens. I use it with a canon R6 and couldn’t be happier.

  17. amit

    Not a great choice. L series have better quality and performance.

  18. jdunc87

    The mirrorless world isn’t know for “affordable” lenses that are really worthwhile. This isn’t one of those times though. This lens competes really well with lenses double and triple its price. The bokeh is fantastic. It performs well in the portrait world.

  19. MorganR

    This lense is a must have for all photographers!!! I highly recommend it!

  20. Chris

    Overall, for the price, this lense is hard to beat. Very sharp, fast(ish) focus, great compression. The bokeh and stabilization are awesome. My one nitpick is that the focus isn’t super fast. It’s okay, but I definitely notice some of my photos not coming out as sharp as I’d like. But when it’s focused, it’s beautifully sharp. Overall I’d definitely recommend it!

  21. Bill

    Took lens to Alt.Cty had great experience.preformed great at short distance.

  22. PBROPICS

    It’s a beautiful lens. I wish i would have purchased this instead of my cheap Canon 50mm awhile back. As this lens is sharp and perfect for portraiture.

  23. DonkarlSony2070

    The Canon RF f/2 Macro lens is very sharp with snappy AF, great colors and contrast- as you would expect from Canon. It is also stabilized which is a big plus shooting portraits in low light. IS is not that big of a deal in macro because I often shoot with a tripod for macro shots. Though, plastic has been used extensively in its construction it still feels solid while being light. Great lens for portraits and macro shooting! Best Buy service, like always, is excellent!!!

  24. Jondagamer

    Quality lens and macro functions are useful for product photography. Be sure to always check the little switch that limits the focus distance. Not having correct for your subject distance will make the camera hunt for focus indefinitely.

  25. Victoria

    Im very impressed with the macro capability. Overall a great lens for portraits!

  26. 50mm

    This is a great lens for beginners. It is much more affordable than the alternative RF 85mm f1.2! The picture quality and bokeh is excellent.

  27. CanonPhotographer4u

    PRO:
    – good focal length for portraits
    – small, compact, lightweight
    – f/2.0 fast aperture, nice BOKEH blur
    – IS image stabilized
    – Macro 1:2
    -Customizable ring on lens, like for ISO or aperture etc.

    CON:
    – Macro is only half life size (1:2 vs 😉
    – Not L lens
    – Focus hunts sometimes, not recommended for action (better in the L-version 85mm f/1.2)

    **Note: I have certain preferences which this lens did not could fulfill completely.
    Still a good alternative to professional L-lenses.***

  28. TaniaD

    The Canon 85mm lens is awesome! It’s a fantastic addition to my lens collection. The portraits it produces always come out alive and stunning.

  29. SarahW

    Lightweight but durable. Great price and amazing photo quality. Perfect for portraits and macro shots.

  30. JdoubleU

    The lens is lightweight and produces great images. However, bokeh is not much different than 24-70 f2.8. Also, AF is terribly slow and for any macro shots of anything but flowers fails miserably. Ultimately I will be returning the lens.

  31. ballie725

    Beautiful bokeh and a great price! I would recommend it for portrait and pet photography.

  32. JRHale

    I’m a big fan of the RF line of Canon lenses and this 85mm macro lens doesn’t disappoint. The clarity, sharpness, and colors that this lens can capture are fantastic. Whether I’m doing macro photography, portraits, or landscapes this lens continues to be my new favorite piece of kit.

  33. SusanM

    I absolutely love this lens. I use it for macro and portraits. Beautiful crisp clear images. This is the lens that usually stays on my camera. Took a little time to get the hang of using all the settings on this lens.

  34. Jocelyn

    Highly recommend, good quality, perfect for special events and making good memories

  35. BertrandA

    Best budget lens, highly recommended for photography. Don’t dare use this for video

  36. Angelstereo

    It is nice to go from macro photography to telephoto zooming on the fly.

  37. CoraG

    A beautiful lens that is great for portraits. I know it’s not a prime lens so the quality isn’t top tier but it’s great for a “budget” lens. I use it more than my 50mm

  38. Manny

    Lens is reliable sharp and easy to use has IS for steady video

  39. Trey

    Amazing lens for price very clear takes amazing photos

  40. DustinH

    Great lens if you don’t plan on buying the zoom. I really do love this lens though. It’s each to use and affordable

  41. SkyA

    The BEST portrait lens. Closer than the 50mm and so clear. The bokeh effect is super! But it is heavy,but if you can hold your phone in your hand all day then you got this!!

  42. BakrH

    It’s a great camera, I use it to take up close jewelry photos from about a foot away. This allows me a deeper depth of field and I don’t have to do any photo stacking. Solved a lot of my problems.

  43. KyleR

    Fantastic lens photos turned out better than expect from a wedding at the shot

  44. RodneyB

    The autofocus and clarity are great. I greatly recommend this lens.

  45. SamanthaL

    Incredible quality for the price, so glad I snagged this lens!

  46. Holly

    It’s a nice lens I just don’t like the slight noise of makes with being moved (off mount) . Iv read that is common with this lens to hear the blades move.

  47. Jadaaaa

    Beautiful Lens ! Got to use this bad boy over Christmas

  48. ManuelMC

    Better lens for the price. Budget friendly and performs like a pro.

  49. FemiB

    This item did not fit my camera even though it was recommended by a specialist in one of your stores. I was very dissappointed (Case #326 005 665). I reported this and was told that my refund would be processed upon return but a stocking fee of $75 was assessed. Please refund that fee as I was incorrectly advised by your Associates.

  50. AmyR

    So far it’s great for the price point. I love a 50mm but this is a great lens to have for portraits!
