How does the canon 85mm f1.8 behave on EOS M bodies?

I ended up finding a good deal for the sigma 56mm, 300 euros brand new, and went with it.

Hello forum,

Im in the process of buying a new portrait lens and i was in talks with a seller to buy the sigma 56mm for a great price. The seller stopped responding so i assum that sale has gone down the drain so im looking a sub 300 euro lens to do the job.

I can buy the 85mm f1.8 for about 150 euros, but its an old lens... How does it behave on an m body? I have the m5.

Thank you in advance!

Wow that's a great deal, did you find it locally or online? I'm considering it as a replacement for my EF 50 1.8 STM, I can't stand the glare it produces when shooting into the sun and also am a bit disappointed with the performance wide open.

Excellent move. I have both the Siggy 56 and the Canon 85/1.8, and on the M Series the Sigma wins hands down. The AF is outstanding and it is very sharp wide open. Congrats!
