Is the 85 mm f2. lens, compatible with this Camera?

This camera uses all full frame Canon EOS lenses. It cannot use the crop lenses. Older manual focus lenses will work with an adapter.

There is no 85 f:2 made by Canon. There is the 85 f:1.8 and the 85 f:1.2.. I have both of these lenses and they work well with the EOS1d mark III.. Were you thinking different manufacturer?

Any lens with a canon mount is compatible, but canon doesn't list an 85mm f/2 lens - there's an 85mm f/1.2

As far as I know, all Canon lenses are interchangeable. I have this camera and the 1DX, and use the lenses interchangeably.

You mean the EOS EF 85mm F/1.2 lens, yes. It is compatible with all EOS EF lenses.

Yes, it should be compatible, but if you're looking for a lens that gets tack sharp photos you may be disappointed with this lens. Yes, it can zoom you in close, but the photos are consistently soft.

No, should be used with f/2.8 L Series Lenses for best results, some f/4.0 L Series Lenses are also compatible. Google this.

I do not know whether it is compatible but I would like to mention that I have sold this lens again because it was not sharp enough. It is wonderful to have a 10x zoom lens, and ok for video recording (lower resolution), but it is not sharp enough for plain photography. Then you might just as well use a point and shoot camera. I recommend instead buying the Panasonic 35-100 mm f/2.8, which is super-sharp, good for portraits, children, and mountain landscapes.

Thank you for your time. Please note that the lens is in fact compatible, however, it is solely manual focus.

I'm sorry but the answer is "no". I assume you mean the Canon SX520 fixed-lens zoom camera. The Opteka 85mm is exclusively for DLSRs and film SLRs.

Yes it is compatible with! That is actually the camera body I use currently :)

I'd say yes. Tack sharp, fast focus. Of course you don't have the ability to zoom like the 70-200mm f2.8, but the 85mm 1.4g will be 4 times faster wide open, which is important indoors. Meaning that if the 85mm were wide open at f1.4, and the 70-200mm f2.8 were wide open at f2.8, the 85 mm would utilize a 4 times faster shutter speed to freeze action. This makes all the difference when we're talking about 1/60th or 1/250th of a second. Blur vs. crisp.

Yes it is, I bought this lens to mate up with my T2i, but sold the t2i and bought the T4i

Yes. Completely compatible ... A very sharp lens which no other even comes close in this price range.

I do not know for sure, however I use a T2i with a battery pack and the EF-S 17-85mm lens, so I believe it should work.

I have both the 18-200 and the 85 mm f/1.8 among others. These two are the lenses I most use (I photograph people and places). The 85 mm is great for head shots, particularly indoors without flash. If $450 is a reach, try eBay where you'll see lots of them.

Yes its compatible with it. It slows focusing speed very slightly and requires you to set your f-stop at 7.1 or "higher" number for sharp photos. But otherwise it works well. My husband has used his with the new 80-400 AFS to photograph wildlife and birds in the last month and has gotten great shots. Much better than his old 80-400 model. I don't know what the two other responses mean about it not being compatible.

Before buy it, check in the canon page if the lens are compatible with your camera. thats the same that i did before buy it.

I've never tried, but if you're a stickler for details, the 85 mm fixed would have a larger aperture opening & thus a shallower depth of field for the portrait.But with software you can always change the depth of field. Take a look at "Alien Skin" software, and they provide great webnars of their features. It's one of my favorite softwares.

It will work , crop factor is 1.5 so this 85mm will be a 127.5mm. It is a superb lens, superb optics, any nikon camera would be happy to mount this lens on it. when used on full frame you're approaching whole Depth of field. It's sharp enough to take your camera resolution to the limit even at f/1.8

From what I saw on the Wiki page for your camera, it had an EF lens. You can buy an adapter like this one: Canon EOS M Mount Adapter for instance, that would make it compatible.
