I started off with 85mm f/1.8 and later added 50mm f/1.4. The 85mm is certainly my favorite of the two, since I trust it wide open a lot more. I'd definitely like to try a 35mm f/1.4L at some point, and have a feeling that I probably wouldn't use the 50mm f/1.4 as much after that. Shawn McHorse - Shawn.McHorse.com

These are the two sharpest non-L lens and really gives a good run for the money. Just a small notch lesser in image quality. That will leave you with enough money for some other goodies like: Ellery Bann

Hell with how much you'd save vs getting the 85L and 50 1.4 you could probable also pick-up a 28 1.8 OMG I saw a nipple, my eye's are bleeding!

I use the 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8. Suprisingly though, I don't use my 85 as much because I am on a FF and it's far too tight when shooting indoors. Digital: Canon 5D2,5Dc,40D
