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.

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

I have to hand it to canon. The M3 is fantastic. I used to be impressed with the T3i and the SL1, but the image quality of the m3 is the best canon camera I have owned. The body is compact, and has an excellent and intuitive layout. The Fold out screen is great for high or low shots including (shudders) Selfies. The best part of the camera, is that with a few inexpensive adapters, I can use nearly any lens ever made. It has revived my relationship with my old manual focus lenses. I have even started perusing thrift shops and have struck gold, finding 2.8 and faster lenses for less than the price of a good burger. Heres what I like and don't like about the camera.Pros:- small size,- good button layout for quick access to most used items - exposure compensation, manual focus zooming,- solid build construction- Wireless image transfer to Iphone ( no wifi network required, but wifi on phone needs to be on)- rapid shutter response times 3 times faster than SL1.- ability to adapt manual focus lenses without extra glass ( FD mount, Nikon mount, pentax mount, screw mount)- Amazing image quality- Focus Peaking when manual focusing is spot on.- Half the size of the SL1- Large screen is easy to see and does reasonably in the sun.Cons- slow focusing with USM and Standard Focus motor lenses (all older technology) I was really disappointed, but not surprised. The hybrid focus system used with the M3 is better geared toward STM system lenses. You will notice a difference compared to just about any of canon's other SLRs and it may be due to the adaptor.- slow start times - 2x as long as the SL1- adapters needed for everything - you need them for every kind of lens you mount to them. the canon eos to M adapter is 200$, the Photodiox one is excellent for 40$- sometimes it's too small. the menu button gets pressed a lot if I am using a large lens.- Heavy. - is half the size of the SL1 and weighs just as much even though it has less going on inside. but is made out of better material.- Screen does well in the sun but can be difficult to see if there is glare.Overall this camera is 4 out of 5 stars. It is everything I wanted from canon except speed.Image included to show the incredible detail and color. It was shot with a 55-250 IS lens with no post processing.

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

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
