I'm always a sceptic when buying aftermarket lenses but when I ventured into the world of prime lenses I wasn't sure about investing a lot of money so I had bought a yongnuo 50mm prime and was happy with the quality of the photos. I've since bought a Canon 50mm f1.4 and that's been my go to. When I decided on expanding to an 85mm I wasn't sure if I really needed one and didn't want to blow a wad on a canon lens so when I saw that yongnuo released an 85mm I jumped on it. Build quality is nice and solid, feels good in the hand and it was nice that they included a lens hood and case. The motors a bit loud but where I shoot that really is insignificant, and it's also slower than the canon counterpart but once you get accustom to it its just like any other lens. It's sweet spot seems to be between f2.8 and f5.6, anything above that and the shutter seems to drag but again it's not a canon. I'd recommend it if your thinking about going to an 85mm but not sure, 168.00 doesn't hurt the wallet as bad and it's better than buying the canon just to find out you don't like the 85Read full review

I purchased this lens mainly because of the price and the 1.8 aperture. The lens is built well. Focusing is louder than the Canon version. The image is clear and sharp. Here are the negatives... The auto focus misses a lot. I had a hard time getting the focus right on the first try. It hunts quite a bit and in the end, the frustration is not worth it so I returned the lens. I also found that shooting indoors, I see a 'halo' effect in the image. This was reproducible with various locations inside my house. If you're mainly shooting outdoors, and are willing to handle the occasional focusing issues, this may be a bargain lens. If you like to manually focus, this would work out. But if you're looking for "fast", you're most likely going to encounter focusing issues and missed shots.Read full review

Focuses a bit slowly than expensive brands, may not be suitable for kids.
