This lense takes brilliant pictures. The reviews before mine were correct, and this lenses focus is incredible. I took absolutly gorgoues portraits with it, and i even took pictures wih it downtown at night, without messing with any non-auto settings.
A few things i dislike about this lense is the 85 mm, I mean it kind of seems useless for canon to make this 85 mm, if your shooting a football game you would be on the field with a telephoto, so I dislike the 85 mm, I had to scoot back or be a fair distance to shoot a subject of mine. & the auto focus misses occasionaly. Its not a big problem however if you know how to use your MF. Plus the AF is fast and quiet.
But other than the distance (which i was unaware it was a fixed lense when i bought it online)
this lense is absoluty fantastic.

Have only used it a couple of times, but happy with it. Can't wait to use it on the grandkid, since he's always moving the lower aperture should help quite a bit. Said refurbished, but looks just like new. I will be buying again.
