Since it's a crop sensor camera, this 85mm lens equates to about a 135mm lens. I have a 50mm f1.8 lens which equates to about an 80mm lens, so I bought this one for something a bit longer. I didn't want to spend a lot on it since I won't use it that much, but it would be nice to have in the kit with such a low f-stop when needed. For the money, literally hundreds less than name brand 85mm lenses, this lens is a keeper. I have a couple minor complaints, but then again, I wasn't expecting it to be perfect for the price, and it worked out better that I ever expected. All the attached photos were taken the day I got the lens. They were all shot between about 11pm and 11:30pm, at ISO 400 or 1600, f1.8, handheld, between 1/25 and 1/125 of a second. First off, this lens does not have image stabilization. So, since it acts like a mid-range telephoto lens, shooting skill or use of a mono or tripod may be needed at slower shutter speeds to minimize blur. Second, the autofocus is loud. Not real loud, but definitely more noisy than any Canon or Sigma lens I own. Noticeably louder. If using this lens shooting a wedding, it would be heard, unlike my Canon or Sigma lenses. Third, at f1.8, with high contract objects, like light bulbs against a night sky, or tree leaves against a bright sky, there is noticeable purple fringing. At f2.0, it's barely perceptible, and at f2.8 and above, it's gone. This purple fringing is not uncommon for many lenses when they are used wide open. It is also very fixable in photo editing programs. Most have a "de-fringe" kind of setting that when checked, removed it. All the light bulbs in the attached photos had some purple fringing, but my software removed it with just the click of a checkbox in the program. The images are a bit soft wide open at f1.8 (not a bad thing actually), noticeably improved at f2.0, and at f2.8, I'd rate it excellent for sharpness. At f4.0 to f11, the photos are stunning. A bit of chromatic aberration starts to be noticeable if you look for it, but it won't jump out at you. At f16 and f22, it is more notable, but again, it's not that uncommon for many lenses at those really small apertures. I didn't include any daytime shots, because if you like the night shots I uploaded at f1.8, you're going to love your photos in daylight. The lens seems solidly built. It is a plastic lens rather than metal, so it's not one you would want to treat poorly, but the mount is a metal ring and connects solidly. I don't know what the longevity will be. At this price, some corners obviously need to be cut. Time will tell, and I'll update if there is something new to report. I have no idea how photos from this lens would look on a full frame sensor camera, but on my crop sensor, they're better and more than I was expecting for the price. For me, it's a worthwhile addition to my kit at this price, for the occasional times I need this focal length. Review: Impressive Value: A Review of the f/1.8 Telephoto Lens for Canon EOS - When I decided to try a f/1.8 telephoto lens for my Canon EOS EF camera, I had some reservations. Its price was attractive, and I always look for gear that balances performance and economy. After using it in several sessions, I can confirm that this lens has surprised me. Design and Build As soon as I took it out of the box, the lens felt solid. Its weight and structure inspire confidence. The manual focus ring moves smoothly, making precise adjustments easier, especially in controlled environments. Although it weighs a bit more than I expected, it was never uncomfortable to use. Optical Performance The main attraction of this lens is its f/1.8 aperture, and it certainly delivers. I mainly used it for portraits, and the background blur (bokeh) it produces is stunning. Subjects truly stand out, and the backgrounds are beautifully blurred. In low-light conditions, it also performs quite well, allowing me to work without relying too much on high ISO. Value for Money Where this lens excels is in its value for money. For the price, it offers more than I expected. It's an ideal option for those just starting out in photography or looking for a secondary lens without breaking the bank. Final Verdict This f/1.8 telephoto lens is a reliable option for those looking for professional results without a hefty price tag. Its optical performance and affordable price make it a dependable tool for portraits and creative photography. If you're considering a lens of this type, I’d say it's worth it. ## Features - Filter size is 67mm, minimum focus distance with 0.85m - Lens aperture range is F/1.8-F/22, lens construction with 6 groups of 9 pieces - Full frame view: level: 16 degree / vertical: 24 degrees / diagonal: 28.5 degrees - Lens carrying the usual electronic contacts, but also a USB connection that can be used to upgrade the lens firmware - Suitable for a wide range of other subjects, including selective architecture, landscapes, portrait, short range sports and theatre photography ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GTFN1KR | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #158 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Brand | Meike | | Camera Lens | 85 month | | Compatible Camera Models | Canon | | Compatible Camera Mount | Canon EF | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (794) | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | File Format | bin, hex | | Focal Length Description | 85 millimeters | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Image stabilization | Digital | | Item Weight | 420 Grams | | Lens | Telephoto | | Lens Coating Description | Multi-layer | | Lens Design | Prime | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 85 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Canon EF | | Manufacturer | Meike | | Maximum Aperture | 1.8 f | | Maximum Focal Length | 85 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 22 f | | Minimum Focal Length | 85 | | Model Name | Meike 85mm f1.8 | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 9 | | Photo Filter Size | 67 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 28.5 Degrees | | Screen Size | 10.2 Inches | | Shooting Modes | Landscape, portrait, sports, night mode | | Viewfinder Type | LCD screen | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Meike - **Camera Lens Description:** 85 month - **Compatible Mountings:** Canon EF - **Focal Length Description:** 85 millimeters - **Lens Type:** Telephoto ## Images ![85mm f1.8 Large Aperture Full Frame Auto Focus Telephoto Lens for Canon EOS EF Mount Digital SLR Camera Compatible with APS C Bodies Such as 1D 5D3 5D4 6D 7D 70D 550D 80D - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X9aBPoRdS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work with canon rebel t6?** A: It will. I use it with my 60D. But remember the actual focal length will be 136mm (85mm x 1.6 crop factor). **Q: How does the photo quality compare to the Canon 85mm f/1.8?** A: The glass is not the same glass used in a canon lens but it is definitely sharpe it truly depends on the person behind the camera not so much the glass **Q: Does it work with the canon rebel t7?** A: yes it does. It shows f-stops on the camera screen too. But it doesn't show f-stops on Canon 850D. **Q: Is it compatible with a nikon l840? i know i’ll need an adapter.. but i want to make sure it’ll actually fit my camera.** A: WITH THE RIGHT MOUNTING ADAPTER IT WILL WORK, BUT DO NOT BUY THIS LENS. IT IS A LOW QUALITY PIECE OF TRASH! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the price point, it's a great lens. *by T***M on April 17, 2021* I bought this lens for my crop sensor Canon DSLR.

I did, however, take quite a few shots in the house tonight. I will update with some images at a later date. First, I want to address the auto focus noise/ speed. It is a bit noisy, but I shoot theater productions, and in most cases, I would be comfortable shooting with this lense. It is a gentle noise. Not an aggressive grinding as I was led to believe by other comments. I have had point and shoot cameras in the past that have been equally as noisy. It is a little slow to find focus, but not terrible. I got several great shots of my cats who were moving around quite a bit. One of them is a black cat, and rather hard to photograph due to contrast issues. Second, I tried out a canon professional level 85mm lens a week ago and was cooing over the sharpness and Bokeh, and this 179.00 lens really impressed me. It was obviously not to the same caliber, but it is very nice! I'm looking forward to getting out and shooting with this. I also just bought a beautiful Tamron 35mm lense, and I'm looking forward to testing both. For reference, for those wondering about the auto focus working, as I was. I have 2 Canon 2000D/T7 bodies, and auto focus works just fine. They are inexpensive bodies, but turn great quality images with good lenses, and this has not shown to be an excaption. I'll update soon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Meike 85mm f1.8 Large Aperture Full Frame Auto Focus Telephoto Lens for Canon EOS EF Mount Digital SLR Camera Compatible with APS C Bodies Such as 1D 5D3 5D4 6D 7D 70D 550D 80D - Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens - YONGNUO YN35mm F2 Lens 1:2 AF/MF Wide-Angle Fixed/Prime Auto Focus Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Camera --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/86677391-85mm-f1-8-large-aperture-full-frame-auto-focus-telephoto](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/86677391-85mm-f1-8-large-aperture-full-frame-auto-focus-telephoto) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
