The details

At a glance: Neewer 85mm f/1.8 - manual-focus portrait prime for Canon EF full-frame and APS-C.

About this lens

The Neewer 85mm f/1.8 Portrait Lens is a manual-focus third-party portrait prime for Canon EF bodies. A low-cost 85mm f/1.8 option - offers classic short-telephoto portrait focal length and aperture without Canon's native price tag. Manual focus only.

Build & handling

Autofocus Manual focus only
Image stabilisation No
Filter thread Typically 72mm (check individual unit)
Weight Approx. 500g
Construction Metal barrel, multi-coated glass

Works with

  • Canon EF-mount full-frame DSLRs (5D series, 6D, 1D series)
  • Canon EF-mount APS-C DSLRs (acts as ~127mm equivalent)
  • Canon RF mirrorless via EF-EOS R adapter (manual focus retained)

Best for

A budget third-party 85mm portrait prime. Gives you the classic 85mm short-telephoto look and f/1.8 subject separation at a fraction of the cost of Canon's native 85mm f/1.8 USM or f/1.4L - but manual focus only, so it's best suited to deliberate portrait and product work rather than fast-moving subjects.

Frequently asked questions

Does it autofocus?

No. This is a manual-focus lens. In-body AF confirmation via focus-assist may work on some Canon EOS bodies with chipped EF adapters, but there's no autofocus motor or electronics.

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.

Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?

Yes, via the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. Autofocus and IS are preserved, and the lens functions normally on R, R5, R6, R7, R8, R50 and other RF bodies.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
