Default New lens: EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Just got this lens today and I absolutely love it! This is a shot SOOC (with a tiny bit of cropping), taken in a dimly lit room.

Congrats! This is my favorite lens so far. I like it even better than my 24-70L.

DOF is wonderful, and for a dimly lit room they're lit well. I can see how it's become an instant favourite. Look forward to seeing more from this lens.

I've loved my 85mm f/1.8 from the first time I stuck it onto my camera
