Title: Canon EF85mm F1.8

I've had this lens for around 3years or so.

One of my favourites, particularly for portraits.

I went on a shoot in Manchester back in March and used it pretty much exclusively on my MkIII (just after the latest fix) and it performed flawlessly.

It has everything I want in a lens - full time manual focusing, solid build, sharp (wide open is very good) obviously stopping down a bit does improve things, but some of which I think is due to the very thin DOF.

An example is below.
