Anyone have an opinion regarding the 50mm 1.4 vs the 85mm 1.8 with a compact sensor (Canon 7D)? I'm looking at using it for portraits.

you will be better off with the 50 1.4, 85 is way to long for portraits on a crop, great for shoulder up shots, but besides that your going to have a hard time doing anything under shoulder length.... unless you have a huge space everywhere you go

Indoors, the 85mm 1.8 can be tight on a crop. It's difficult to fit in a group of people. It's fine for 1 or 2 (head to shoulder) people in your shot. The low light capability is a plus to keep in mind, however. I wouldn't recommend it for big group shot indoors (not a party lens per se). If you have the room in setting up the shot (outdoors for instance or a roomy indoor studio), I think an 85mm for portrait is fine.

The FL of the 50mm gives you more "room" when foot zoom of course. You need to find which FL you'll feel comfortable shooting with.

It really depends on the person and the environment you mostly shoot at. For example, in indoor situation, 85 is kinda long for me, but, I don't mind stepping back a few steps to shoot. In outdoor situation, 85 is perfect for me. I bought the 85 mostly for outdoor shots.

Since you have two lenses currently that provides you this FL, pick one and set it at 85, and see if that FL works out for you. If you find it too long in almost all situations then definitely go for a 50mm.
