Portrait lens for Canon SLR

The Canon International EF 85mm f/1.8 USM kit delivers a fast 85mm focal length with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field. Ring-type USM provides quick, quiet autofocus on compatible Canon SLR bodies. Weighing 15 ounces, it suits photographers who want a lightweight portrait prime.

Suited for portrait and low-light work.

This lens suits portrait shooters and event photographers who need a natural perspective and strong background blur at 85mm. The fixed focal length means buyers who want zoom versatility or wider angles for interiors should look at something else. Close focus reaches 2.8 feet for tighter compositions.

Fixed 85mm focal length with f/1.8 aperture

The single specification that decides fit is the 85mm focal length paired with an f/1.8 maximum aperture. This combination defines the field of view, depth-of-field control and low-light capability for Canon SLR systems.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 85mm f/1.8 USM lens or a different focal length for portrait work?

The 85mm focal length with f/1.8 aperture gives a natural perspective and shallow depth of field that is widely used for portraits on Canon SLR cameras.

What does the f/1.8 aperture actually deliver when the lens is mounted on a camera?

It provides a bright viewfinder image and allows shallow depth of field for subject isolation, while the ring-type USM focuses quickly and quietly.

Which lens mount does this Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM use and what cameras does it fit?

It uses the Canon EF mount, so it fits all Canon EOS SLR bodies — both full-frame and APS-C — without an adapter.
