When it comes to portraits, nothing can beat this lens. Nothing at all. The EF85 was known as being an incredible portrait lens but suffered from the fact you needed to set a focus point and recompose your frame and the focus was hit and miss – when it hit it was astounding but when it missed, well, it missed. This RF version however has razor sharp focus and coupled with the incredible eye focus tracking of the R series cameras makes this lens the most incredible portrait lens you will ever use. Yes, it really is that good. Bokeh is silky smooth, focus is pin sharp, detail is incredible (just zoom into the reflections in your subjects pupil to see what I mean), and the hit rate is pretty much 100% – if you miss, it’s because you probably weren’t concentrating. This is an incredibly expensive lens and it is incredibly heavy too. But when you see the results you will forget the price, forget the weight, and try to find something else to take a photo of. Buy it without hesitation. Absolutely essential! Absolutely peerless! 6 people found this helpful

November 2024 This lens is game changing. The quality of the lens and photo output is amazing. The ability to pick up light also when doing night photography is unbelievable

December 2024 Style Name: Fire HD 8 Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB Configuration: with ads Colour Name: Hibiscus Verified Purchase I purchased this as an “inbetween” tablet (and it was at half price!) to use for simple games, YouTube etc and I was very impressed. Set up was a doddle as it was linked to my Gadget Tree account and virtually sorted itself out. In less than 5 minutes it was ready to use. Battery was at 75% so I tried it out. Downloading apps/books etc was simple and quick and the screen is very responsive and a great picture. No freezing on YouTube or Prime Video (not tried Netflix or Disney+ yet). For under £60 i don`t think you could get a better little tablet. I purchased the kid 7in one for my daughter for Christmas and I am sure she`ll love it. Battery life is SUPERB been playing off and on all day from 8am (now it is 15.30) and I am still on 70% from 100% this morning so a full charge will last me all day or more. Really excellent little device.

Love the device, but Gadget Tree Shopping app doesn’t work at all on it, just flicks straight back to Home Screen, ( on googling/looking on forums, this seems to be a common issue with no answer!) and both Gadget Tree video and App Store tiles don’t show, just has the name underneath but if you tap in the blank space it does take you to the app. Nice size to see everything but still comfy to hold.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2024 Style Name: Fire HD 8 Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB Configuration: with ads Colour Name: Emerald Verified Purchase I bought my Fire 8 in the Prime Sale, and got it for £50, which is a proper bargain. I basically bought it to use as a colour Kindle mainly for recipe books because it’s cheaper than even the basic Kindle, and much much cheaper than the colour Kindle. It does this job brilliantly, I can see all my recipes in glorious colour, it’s just like having a colour Kindle. But then there’s everything else it does too, that a Kindle can’t do – there’s video, there’s web browsing, music, email, games, streaming platforms like Prime, Netflix, Paramount, Sky/NOW TV, BBC iPlayer and so on, audiobooks, Alexa, even photo tools. I have Word, Excel, MS Notes and Outlook on there too. Okay so the app range is quite limited compared to an iPad or Android tablet, but it has all the standard stuff most people use in their average week. For a very low cost tablet, the Fire 8 is unbelievable good value when in a Sale. It’s cheaper than a black and white Kindle and does far more stuff. Compared to the colour Kindle, it’s an absolute steal. Even though I own an iPad Pro, I still use this in preference when I’m reading books or cooking and need the recipe easily available. It’s also small enough to fit in my coat pocket, or slot into my bag, so I take it with me when I have hospital or Doctors’ appointments, or I’m on the train. Two thumbs up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2024 Style Name: Fire HD 8 Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB Configuration: with ads Colour Name: Emerald Verified Purchase I reluctantly traded in my 10 year old(!) Fire HDX to take advantage of a £50 Black Friday deal on this newest gen tablet. Apps kept failing on the HDX (of course; it was a dinosaur), but the ads had also long since disappeared 
and I was still able to use it as a Kindle, to play games, music, browse websites, and watch Netflix and Freevee, AND it still held a charge well! It was time to let it go, but I will really miss it. Why? Because the screen/picture quality of the HDXs of yesteryear were totally unrivalled at that price point, and Gadget Tree has never made a tablet of equal quality again. The inferior display of this new HD8 is therefore quite jarring, but I will get used to it. Possibly related, or just as a result of advances in tech, it is thinner and lighter too, which is particularly nice if you want portability. The colour options are also attractive. The interface is fine, the settings all customisable, and the charge lasts forever. The lock screen ads aren’t intrusive at all. You can disable Alexa voice commands if you wish, but it’s there for those who want it. The best thing about Gadget Tree tablets is the option to link them to your account at the point of purchase, so right out of the box, all your books etc are ready and waiting for you. Unfortunately I did find that my “Actually Free” apps (remember those?!) were absent and I’d have to buy them again, which was a shame, but to be expected I guess. The Silk browser still isn’t the best, and has no ad blocker to my knowledge, so it didn’t take long to decide I’d have to download an APK for a better browser + ad blocker, which is very easy to do. I don’t feel the need to jailbreak further like some reviews suggest, as the selection of apps available from Gadget Tree is more than enough for me. It is exceptionally good value at the deal price if you already use Gadget Tree for books, music, TV, Alexa controlled devices, and so on – otherwise you might be a little disappointed at its limitations. But for those individuals and families who cannot afford or justify the obscene cost of the latest tablet from other big brands, it’s a really fantastic option. I just wonder if it will last as long as the HDX…. Read more 7 people found this h
Neil,happy with my purchase and would buy again. –
October 2020 This lens is humongous. It is absolutely shockingly huge. It just dwarfs its EF 85/1.2 counterpart. It renders very beautifully too but no increase in image quality can justify such a dramatic increase in size and weight. One person found this helpful
