Inexpensive filter protection for my 85mm lens. Fits perfectly!!!

I bought the T2i with the 17mm-85mm zoom instead of the kit lens, which I had read was on the 'soft' side. The pair-up I chose makes a superb one lens package for any aspiring photog, ranging as it does from a nice 17mm (27mm film equivalent) wide-angle to a decent portrait level telly at 85mm (136mm film equivalent).My T2i has worked flawlessly, and it is rugged too. I've managed to drop mine onto concrete a couple of times and it has not been damaged nor has it failed to work afterwards! I can't tell you how many old 35mm film cameras I've lost doing the very same thing.I recommend sitting down with the camera and the manual one evening and reading through and trying things as you read. Doing so will give you a good overview of its capabilities and make it less likely you will end up defaulting to the full-on auto program mode which will severely limit you as a creative photog, not to mention how much money you will have wasted on a topnotch DSLR that you are only using like a point & shoot.Also, be sure to use the movie mode occasionally. You will be pleasantly surprised at the quality.Now, since the introduction of the T3i and T4i, prices on the T2i couldn't be better. It's a great way to get started.

I attached it on my Swarovski 85mm objective spotting scope lens. It fits very well. It seems to be able to fit even larger lenses.

having picked up my R5, it quickly became clear that I would need newer glass to match the camera, the RF 85 2.0 is a low power macro lens, fairly inexpensive and a great reasonably fast portrait lens.. super happy with this.its NOT the worlds best glass, but what do you expect for a inexpensive 85mm. its more than adequade to be a go-to 85mm lens.

Fits right in to my Canon 17-85mm IS USM lens. Does what its supposed to do without any degradation in image quality.

Amazing colors and smooth picture quality with the Sony a7iii and Sony 85mm f/1.8 lens

update:using the eos m3 i compared the images from this lens to a few i just took with the older canon 85mm 1.8 lens. even though the 85mm cost like nearly 3 times more. the 50mm 1.8 STM in my opinion had both sharper image quality and much better coloring. side by side the 85mm 1.8 seemed washed out, so much that i went back to redo a set a photos i just took with the 50mm 1.8 instead. If you have a newer canon digital camera like the eos m3 , i would highly recommend the 50mm 1.8 , not only will you save money but overall much better image quality and usability as you dont have to step back so far, but still looking very nice![older review:]I was a bit hesitent to buy this lens as i already had the 50mm 1.4 USM which is a great lens but the one i had started having some sluggish autofocusing issues and in some points simply would not autofocus right (more so if the image was fully blurry and you were trying to focus on something sometimes it just would not focus) But i just bought the Canon EOS M3 (on ebay) and decided since it was a nicer faster camera then the M1 maybe it would be worth trying out the 50mm 1.8 STM as i hear it was faster in focusing and lighter weight too and even a bit sharper wide open. After tryng it out i must say it really is very nice VERY fast autofocus compared to the 50mm 1.4 in my opinion. Sharp and produces nice blurry backgrounds. Does not feel cheap. I mean it def doesnt feel "pro like" BUT it doesnt feel like a toy in my opinion just about the "Right" quality for something like this.For non full frame cameras this likely is the BEST Option you can get for starting out with wanting to take more photos of people. as cropped sensors make it more like a 85mm lens so you get a nice flattened image of the person without having to stand too far back (which can be better in many situations).I think after years of trying diffrent things ive found the best solution for photos of people is this lens + the canon eos m3 (with adapter) so that you have a nice compatish camera that is not too heavy or bulky and very fast and sharp!My issue with the 50mm 1.4 was that sometimes inside it didnt "grab" the image good or it took too long or it wasnt quite as sharp or whatever. Much like the EOS-M 22mm 2.0 lens which is a great value for the price, this is as well (if not more so since you really can use this better for pictures of people).If your a bit new to photography and want to take images to stand out vs all these "cell phone selfies" Just get one of these you'll be amazed at the quality and the possibilities it opens up for a great build and price! I liked it so much i put the box for the 50mm 1.4 in my drawer and proudly put the box for the 50mm 1.8 STM on my dresser because i think for now ive found it is the BEST Lens canon has for the price and what it can do to make great photos of people. Cant wait to use it even more!

Obviously, I would love to own the Canon 50mm 1.2 L lens. But I mean, who wouldn't? I love this lens, I was debating between this and the 85mm for some time, but I chose to buy the 85mm first. I've had it for a while before I bought this 50mm and I can say I wish I had bought this first. It's more versatile, and as an added bonus, its LIGHT! I finally feel comfortable taking my good camera out and about now (well mostly, I'm still a little chicken) I took it to the Labor Day parade, and it was awesome! I was debating between this and the 1.4 and this lens had better reviews and being new to the photography world, I couldn't really find a difference in the lenses other than the f/stop. So in my opinion, this one is great!
