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.
