I have seen most of the reviews on YouTube and I have heard the good, bad, and the ugly of this Canon 85MM 1.4 L lens, I was going to wait for sometime for a sale to come by from B&H photo, but the itch in my brain keeps telling me go for it, so then I did with the 4TB hard driver special.

This new Canon 85mm f1.4L w/IS is an outstanding image maker. I am shooting handheld at 1/20-1/8 and pulling great shots. The buying experience at Crutchfield is reassuring. Many Canon L lenses are pretty expensive.

Someone at Crutchfield understands what it means to be "of service"

Images so sharp you could cut yout fingers on them.

Durable; Great Picture Quality

Purchased elsewhere as no stock yet on amazon. This lens is a worthy contender to the legendary 1.2. Whilst the 1.2 has its own special place, this lens with its 4 step IS, finally a useable AF speed and better sharpness makes it a winner. The build quality is superb too.

Canon own-brand lenses have been facing ever-stiffer competition of late, especially from Sigma and Tamron. Portrait primes for full-frame portraiture are no exception, as there are two excellent, recently launched 85mm lenses from the independents.

Fast f/1.4 aperture rating; Image stabilization; Premium build and image quality

Expensive to buy; Quite hefty for an 85mm f/1.4 lens

I am not a professional, but could tell immediately the professional quality of this lens. It ads a new dimension in composition with its extremely shallow depth of field. Automatic focus is truly a snap. I've shot outdoor portraits of grandchildren and the outcomes are brilliant.

I bought this especially to use with my 5DSR as I wanted to minimise handheld blur in low light conditions. I was not disappointed; the combination is unbeatable for hand-held portraits. I use it with my 6DMk2 in the field also. Amazing results. As for quality: 'MADE IN JAPAN' says it all.

I've used it a bit already and it's the best lens I own, and feels way better than the 85mm f/1.2, which I've rented a few times. The IS is a game changer, and the images feel super sharp even wide open.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue
