Yes, the 85mm f/1.8 is a great lens for the money with fast focusing and solid sharpness. I have also used this lens for portraits, indoor sports and drag racing shooting.
👍👍 Absolutely. One of the best bargains in the Canon lens lineup. Tack sharp (sharper than many “Ls) light weight, less than $400, and a perfect portrait and low light lens for many shooting situations.

It is a nice portrait lens on a full frame sensor and it has the FOV equivalent of 110mm on my 1D MkIII with is 1.3 crop factor. On an APS-C body it is equivalent to about 135mm FOV. But because it focuses so quickly I find it great for indoor sports and outdoor fast action too. On a crop body it can be an advantage because of the narrower FOV. Highly recommended especially if one is looking for a fast sharp inexpensive lens.
