Just broke down and ordered those two lenses to add to my arsenal of 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f2.8 and the 17-85mm 4.0 lens. I feel like I am ready to rock and roll.
PS- I have just switched over from Nikon.

Been a prime guy ever since, very nice choice you've made I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 28, 2005 19:43 | #14 I never thought the primes would be valuable as zoom was so handy, but I have those two lenses as well and I love them. There isn't a lens out there that is better for the price than the 85 1.8. IMO. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
