I have an 85 mm 1.8 Canon lens for sale. No issues no problems. Sharp. I really liked the 85 mm, wide aperture and what I was able to do with this lens. While I really wanted the 85 mm 1.2 that was out of my price range so I went ahead an purchased a Sigma 85 mm 1.4.

But at 1/3 the price of the Sigma and 1/6 the cost of the Canon 85 mm 1.2 this is a great lens and you won't be disappointed. $350.00 includes shipping and insurance within the USA.

    Sam, if I didn't already own an EOS 85 f1.8, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

    First rate glass at a very reasonable price.

    Thanks Jim!

    I loved using it and I am hoping the Sigma is even better. :D

    If you have been reading my other post RE: the Sigma 85 mm 1.4 you know I have sent this lens back for a replacement. If the replacement doesn't work out I will be keeping my 85 mm 1.8.

    So I am pulling this off the market for now. Sorry
