Tämä 85-millinen on mainio harrastelijatason RF-sarjan objektiivi potretti- ja makrokuvauksesta kiinnostuneille. Omallani olen valokuvannut lähinnä luonnon yksityiskohtia ja jokusen potrettikuvan. Se tuottaa todella terävää jälkeä, ja tarvittaessa F2:lla saa kohtuullisen sumean taustan potretteihin. Kokokin on miellyttävä. Risuja objektiivi saa siitä, että sen automaattitarkennus ei tunnu jokaisessa tilanteessa kaikkein skarpimmalta ja että sen hinta voisi silti olla hiukan halvempi.

Kevyt monikäyttöinen objektiivi

I bought this lens as a replacement for an RF85mm F2 Macro that I accidentally dropped down the stairs of my home. Therefore I knew in advance what I was buying. The lens is great for portraits which is the primary reason for me buying the original one and then buying a replacement when the first one got damaged. The focus is quick and precise and the image quality is, in my opinion, perfect.

Nopea automaattitarkennus ja hyvä valovoima. Liikuntasuoritteiden kuvaaminen sisähallissa onnistui matalalla ISO-arvolla ilman kohinaa. Objektiivi myös mukavan kevyt, mutta samalla kuitenkin jämäkkä ja laadukas.

The RF 85mm (on an RF body) beats my old EF f/18. in all aspects except one (AF). The images are sharp(er) across the frame even wide open; very high IQ center sharpness, comparable with L glass. The controls are well designed and the focus range selection helps to mitigate against the under-engineered, under-powered STM motor for the poorest AF on an RF lens yet. Switching from macro range to 0,5m-infinity the lens often does not even bother to move, and must be powered off/on via the camera body! The AF/MF switch is not 100% reliable. Sometimes going to MF the RP body does not respond and there is no MF focus range display in the VF.

In the trade off between image quality and superb colour rendition vs. annoyingly inadequate AF, for me it's a keeper.

Practice and technique can mitigate against the glaring inadequacy of the STM motor in some conditions, but if that's not for you then avoid this lens.

Really sharp and colour rich. I do not use it for macro or video. It sits very nicely on my R6. So, pleased I bought it!

Coming into its own now the flowers and wildlife are becoming more alive. I tend to find I either use the full focus or 0.35m to 0.50m and learning to adjust positioning to get the best shot with R7. Very pleased with the purchase of this lens.

I bought this to replace my EF 85mm f1.8 USM and it is a better lens in almost every way for general editorial photography and portraits. Way better close-focusing and very nicely balance both the R5 and R6. I wish that Canon included a lens hood with a lens like this but I never shoot without one if I can help it and so had to spend the extra to get one. My only real niggle is that the STM stepping motor isn’t silent and because of that I have marked the lens down to four out of five.

Excellent sharpness, super quick focusing stunning IS allowing handheld shots in low light

I'm a nature photographer so I'm not going to spend my "big lens" money on short lenses. The 85mm F2 took my fancy and I'm pleased I took the plunge. It's great for portraits and has the added bonus of being usable for macro work too. Win-win lens!

very slow hen on auto focus

Peruskäytössä hyvä makro-objekriivi. Hämärissä oloissa tarkennuksen kanssa voi tulla ongelmia, perinteinen manual override-tarkennus auttaisi. Ehkä tämä puute olisi ohjelmoitavissa.

Loistava potretti putki jolla macrokuvauskin onnistuu mainiosti!

i bought this lens since 1 month, well I'm suffering a lot in focous issue, this lens keep searching for focus all time, its annoying, this is not a semi professional lens, this lens should be fixed in firmware update ASAP

Had this lens for last month or so and I love the image quality. It’s very smooth and the colours are brilliant.

Although not an Canon L lens this is a very sharp and fulfils my requirements with acres to spare. It is well made and will not disappoint.

Very happy indeed, pin sharp, great macro capabilitiy.

This lens is proving to be my go to lens and is constantly on my camera. It is fast enough to meet most situations and with the flexibility of my EOS R6 it copes well. Picture quality is a step up from my DSLR both in terms of focus and stabilisation. I can Highly recommend this lens and the cost is very affordable.

I purchased this lens as a stop gap until the L lenses are available. As of yet i cannot fault it. The only negative is no lens hood so drops a star as its not a cheap lens for a prime of the non L type.

Bought this to, hopefully, replace the aging combo of an EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM and EF 100mm f/2 USM, which I'd previously been switching between as-and-when the particular strengths of each (build & macro vs size & speed) was required. A ~500g 85mm f/2 with half-macro seemed like it should be the ideal compromise.

To start on a positive note, the optics are fairly impressive; there's strong colour fringing when photographing anything metallic, but otherwise rendering is fine (not spectacular), sharpness and distortion are both pretty good, and vignetting is a little strong (approximately 3 stops) but not beyond what software can fix. The stabilisation is also extremely good, easily down to 1/15th with a 100% keeper rate and even slower than that with less consistent results. I rarely have need for stabilisation at this sort of focal length, but it's nice to know its there should the need ever arise.

However, the lens is very poor in two absolutely critical areas. The first is the focus. Canon's advertising and product page claim it is "fast", "silky smooth" and "quiet" in both stills and video, but is is none of these things. In stills it is slow, rough, and extremely loud. In video it is a little bit smoother (not smooth enough) and a little bit quieter (not quiet enough) only by virtue of the camera slowing focus down to a crawl, taking several seconds to make a focus shift of just a couple of feet. I haven't used a Canon lens with a focus motor this bad since the 'micro motor' of the EF 35mm f/2, a lens which Canon designed in 1990 and rightfully replaced with a USM version a decade ago. Even the first iterations of USM motor, on 1990s lenses like the EF 100mm f/2, are significantly quieter, smoother and faster than this. I'm actually shocked Canon would allow a product with such poor focus to be released, let alone get away with making such clearly inaccurate claims without Trading Standards having a word with them.

The second problem, making it a real deal-breaker, is the poor build quality. In the space of just two trial product shoots, lasting a total of about two and a half hours, this lens is full of dust, despite older lenses in the same room at the same time having no such issues. Both the focus and control ring wobble front-to-back, the extending element (this is not internally-focusing) wobbles around, the focus and distance switches are extremely stiff while the IS switch is extremely loose. Much like the focus motor, I have not seen build quality this poor from Canon ever before. I was not expecting fully-sealed L-lens quality, but this is, again, worse than the 90s mid-range primes.

If this was relaunched with a USM motor and better build, even just to the standards that were set in the 90s, it would be a decent lens. The optics are good enough to work with and the IS is genuinely one of the most impressive stabilisation systems I've ever used, so it has to score at least 2 for those two aspects. But the focus is simply embarrassing and the build leaves me with absolutely zero faith in the lens; at this sort of price point both should be significantly better, not outclassed by lenses from 30 years ago. As it is, the EF lenses will keep going until Canon release a hybrid portrait/detail RF lens with focus and build which can actually be relied upon. This is not it.

Sopii kaikkeen kuvaukseen, kuten muotokuviin, lähikuviin ja maisemiin tarkkuutensa ansiosta.

I bought this just over a month ago and the experience has been superb. Fast focus, sharp pictures and good Bokeh, OK it only goes to 0.5 macro and not 1:1 but it still does a job and is very light to handle.
