Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens - Like New | Stunning Portraits & Low Light Performance

Capture breathtaking portraits with beautiful background blur using the legendary Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. A favorite among professional and enthusiast photographers alike, this short telephoto prime lens offers a perfect combination of portability, speed, and optical precision. Its wide f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for shooting in challenging low-light conditions and creating a shallow depth of field that isolates your subject with creamy, smooth bokeh. Whether you are shooting weddings, events, or studio portraits, the fast Ultra-Sonic Motor (USM) ensures your focus is locked in instantly and silently, so you never miss a fleeting expression.
