My husband absolutely loves this lens. Sharpness is absolutely amazing. Works well fits perfectly without no problems. Image quality is amazing. What's when you understand how to use it? And the weight of it is very light and very manageable, to hold for longer periods of time

Loveeeeee this lens, it worked so well with my canon m50, you just have to get the right adapter and enable the lens in the cameras settings in order for it to work. Other than that, it does a phenomenal job and the price is just unbeatable
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025 by I love it! It’s soft and think so it won’t be overwhelming to wear for long hours. I am 5ft tall and it fit just a little big which is great! I bought two and I do not regret it

If you have a Canon rebel like me just get canon's original 50 mm 1.8f which can zoom and has stabilization and auto focus. Best used with a tripod since it has no stabilization for clear images. The bokeh effect is the best thing on this lens due to it's 1.8f aperture which also can be adjusted only on the lens itself. If you're at events a lens like this will give you a hard time since you have to spend time on getting the right focus and it has no zoom or autofocus and even then make sure you don't have shaky hands. It was badly designed because when you are trying to focus you can turn the entire lens so you have to turn back the entire lens to get it back in place. This lens i might never use or give away. At least it wasn't expensive but a loss nontheless. ... show more

Generally, my initial impressions of this lens was reasonably favorable, considering the very low price. Most everything is made of metal, including the nice lens hood. One thing I immediately noticed is there is some wiggle when the lens is attached to my Canon. The lens itself is very secure, so that is not an issue. But the slot in the lens that captures the locking pin on the camera is a bit too large. This wiggle appears to have only one negative effect, which is during focusing. This lens is very sensitive on focus distance, so when you change focus the entire lens will rotate a slight amount until the focus ring starts working. With most lenses, this really would not be much of an issue, but due to the small depth of field with this lens, small focus adjustments are common. So, this slight movement before a change in focus is a little irritating. I am not sure if it causes a light leak as well. There is another slight mis-description in the Amazon listing, which seems to suggest a filter thread of 72mm. That is referring to the thread used by the hood, which fits on the outside of the lens, not the inside. The front of the lens has both internal and external threads. The external thread is 72mm and the internal filter thread diameter is 55mm. I did attach an older 55mm filter I had laying around and it allowed me to attach the larger 72mm hood over it at the same time, which is handy. I'm not sure all 55mm filters will work. If they are too large of a shoulder, it might interfere with the hood. Update: I have a second problem. The 3 screws on the back of the lens are loose (see picture), which also causes some of the jiggling of the lens as these screws hold the Canon EOS interface mount to the body of the lens. When I tighten these screws to remove the slack, it makes it almost impossible to turn the f-stop ring. If I left these screws untightened, I think they would eventually loosen completely and fall out. If I were unlucky, it might happen when I was removing the lens, and a small screw could fall into the body of the camera. I contacted Lightdow about both of these problems, including sending pictures, and the only response I got was this was something that was within normal engineering tolerances. I could live with the slot problem, but not the 3 loose screws and unusable f-stop ring. Second Update: I put the lens on a bench and loosened the screws on the mount and then gently tightened them to ensure the mount was sitting evenly on the lens. After that, I rotated the f-stop ring about 50 times. It eventually started to move more freely. After that, I finished tightening the screws and did about 50 more rotations of the f-stop ring. It can now by rotated freely. I am guessing there was some kind of edge or loose piece of plastic flashing of the f-stop ring. I note that the detents on the f-stop ring are sloppy. I still have the problem of the lens not having a tight fit on the camera which is not fixable. You can tell the lens will not be tight on the camera because the plastic rear lens cap fits loosely. On all my other Canon and Canon-compatible lenses, the rear lens cap has a close fit and is not loose. I have had additional communications with Lightdow, so they are at least responsive. It seems they have some basic QC or design issues on the mechanical side of things. Final Update: Lightdow was pretty good about responding to my issues. They offered a partial refund, which I accepted. As a result, I decided to keep the lens as I kind of liked the optics. I think with a little bit of QC and re-engineering, they could easily fix these problems. P.S. Most users probably realize this, but the 85mm focal length is with respect to a full-frame sensor. On a cropped sensor camera that uses a APS-C sensor, such as a Canon Rebel camera, this lens behaves more like a 135mm lens. To get the same field of view that you would expect with a 85mm portrait lens on a full-frame camera, you have to move farther away from the subject. This also affects depth of field (it increases depth of field, which means less Bokeh with cropped sensor camera compared to a full-frame sensor). ... show more

Just got my lenses on the same day as prom so I thought why not take it with me and I’m so glad I did because the photos came out beautiful 😩 Keep in mind that this lens CANNOT zoom it’s only focus, the lens is slightly bigger due to the range of focus you can do. This is really good for portraits and not too well for group photos. If you wanted to do a group photo you would have to walk really far in order to get everyone but the quality still comes out amazing. The packaging was 👍 good. I had no problems with it, I’m just happy I got a new lens ... show more

The media could not be loaded. Sharing photos in my review because when I was deciding I wish I saw better photos of the lens so I hope this helps someone else make their decision. I am in love with this lens. I’ve owned the Canon 70-200mm (three times), Tamron 70-200mm (twice) and they all had to be returned because they were just too heavy. I wanted a lens that was incredibly light weight (since I were heels everyday) and a lens that gave the same quality (bokeh, sharpness, effects). I love the manual setting because I have 100% full control. It fits perfectly with my canon 6D. The clarity is great once you edit the photos for enhancement. The sharpness is also great when you edit. I hope this was helpful. Take care. ... show more

I LOVE this lens!! I feel like it is much more easier to adjust your aperture and your lighting on this lens since you have to manually turn the lens, vs doing it in your manual settings on your camera, since you can see it change real time looking through it. This lens does not zoom, so you do have to move a lot to get the shot you want, but it’s worth it for the price and quality. I have never used another lens except for the one my Canon Rebel T7 came with. If you do portrait photography, this will be a game changer for you! ... show more
