This lens absolutely blew me away. I have the Canon f/1.2L and used to have the f/1.4 and simply got this to see if the STM version was an improvement from the original nifty fifty. The lens now has a metal mount, which gives it an all better look and a bit more sturdiness in the hand. It is still pretty "plasticky", but you're paying $125 for it, what more do you want? Performance wise I can 100% guarantee you will see little to no difference when compared to the f/1.4, definitely not a $200 difference! The only difference is that you get not even half a stop more of light. If you're teetering on whether to get the f/1.4 or this lens. Get this lens. It may not look as pretty or aesthetically pleasing as the f/1.4, but you will get the same results, and they are stunning. I won't go as far to say it's better than 1.2L, but I don't think you'll find you need any need to upgrade, whatsoever, unless you have an occupation that calls to. Don't forget to perform micro adjustments with your lenses, this back focused so I had to adjust it to -5.Update 6/26/18: I have had this lens for 2 years now and still stand by everything I said above! Because this lens is so light I always have it in my bag and a lot of the time, on my camera. Crazy versatile and still sharp 2 years later.

If you're getting into photography this one of the must get list.This is a better bang for the buck than the f/1.4 version.

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

I've used this with my 35mm f/1.4 E-Mount . By far, this polarizer has not came off my lens when i took it out for travelling to Hawaii. It gave my shots more contrast, darkens the highlights to the point where I can use the image and of course, see through reflections. As a polarizer, it does what most polarizers do, I definitely would recommend this filter!Highlights:- Tiffen helps with maintaining the sharpness- Blocks reflections- Ups the contrasts in your shots and reduces highlights

ニコンD7000 + AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm がすっぽり入ります。価格の割にしっかりした造りで、軽いので手軽に持ち出せます。

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

For only $150, you get a very high quality portrait lens (it even has a metal mount). The difference between this one and the f/1.4 does not look to be worth getting the 1.4
