Is there a prime in the 28mm-50mm range that is close to the Canon 85 1.8 in image quality & sharpness? Can't swing any L's just yet. I have the 50 1.8..... but after using the 85.....well, I got spoiled!
Thanks, K

(he didn't say same price range!  )The OP did say that they couldn't "swing any "L" lenses".

No, though the bokeh of the 50 1.4 is better. The 50 1.4 also has better build and focus performance. My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/

Kristian Senior Member 527 posts Joined Jul 2006 Location: Denmark More info | Nov 22, 2007 16:01 | #13 The 28/1.8 is quite nice, but of course the resolution it delivers isn't entirely on par with the L-primes. I like the focal length on the 40D (almost equivalent to a 50mm FF) and it has become my most used lens. It's not tack sharp in the corners wide open but still good enough for my needs. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/22782659@N03
