It is pretty wide, but 40mm. is not that short. +1 5DIV | 16-35L f2.8 III | 24L II | 35L II | 50L | 85L II | 70-200L II | 300L II IS | 1.4x III | 2x III | 580EX II

Sep 02, 2012 11:35 | #18 I'd say you already own it: the EF 50mm f/1.8 II. It's a damned sharp lens, and dollar for dollar, you can't buy a better lens. It was my walk-around for years. I broke it, but I got 5 or 6 good years out of it.
