The Yongnuo Digital YN 85mm f/1.8 is a short-telephoto prime lens designed for Canon EF-mount cameras. With its classic 85mm focal length and bright f/1.8 aperture, it’s especially well-suited for portraiture, event photography, and low-light shooting, delivering pleasing subject separation and smooth background blur (bokeh).
Designed for full-frame Canon DSLRs, this lens also works on APS-C bodies, where it provides an effective focal length of approximately 136mm, making it useful for tighter framing and head-and-shoulder portraits.
An onboard AF/MF switch allows quick changes between autofocus and manual focus, and gold-plated electronic contacts ensure communication with the camera for exposure modes and EXIF data recording.
