## Questions & Answers

**Q: So many reviews! Can someone semi pro tell me if this focal distance is worth the purchase if you already own the canon 50mm f 1.4? I have a 7D and a full frame 5D and I use the 50mm on both. I am looking to gain that "better bokeh" mainly. Thoughts? Thank you!!**
A: This is one of my favorite primes that I own. It not only has a really nice bokeh, and great contrast and color rendering. But it also has a very flattering perspective. It also makes most peoples faces look a bit better. Something about 85mm makes the face a little skinnier, while also compressing the area that is in focus a bit. 
It's heavier than most other 'Ultrasonic' EF primes. But this just makes it balance well on a 5D, 6D or 7D. 
Until you step up to L series you will have to deal with a bit of chromatic aberation and vignetting. Though that is a simple task if shooting raw. 
The 50mm is a bit more natural perspective compared to 85. But you also have to get right up on a subject with it. 
The 85 lets you get a similar shot from a few more feet away, which makes the subject more comfortable.

**Q: Does it come with the lens hood ?**
A: Comes with The Rear Cap and Front Cap.... No Hood...

**Q: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM or Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM? What distances can you shoot from the subject for each (trying to determine best for my needs)?**
A: Closest focusing distance is 0.85m or 2.8 ft. for the 85mm f/1.8 and the closest focusing distance for the 50mm f/1.8 is 1.15 ft. or 0.35m. Depends on your style of shooting but the 85mm f/1.8 it's better for portrait.

**Q: Comptible con Canon 90D?**
A: Yes.  I have the Canon 90D and is what I use it on.  Have had no problems.
