*sigh* Been shooting with my new 85/1.8 and I must say...
I'm a prime lover! Zooms have nothing on us! Sigma 30/1.4 is next for me I think...

My 5D's newest friend  - $80, and up there with my 85L and 135L in terms of performance:I'd love to see some sample images. I nearly picked one up myself today. The one I was looking at was a bit more expensive though. For that price the lens is a no-brainer.

I haven't shot anything decent yet using that lens, but here's a quick snapshot I took on my walk back home a few minutes ago: IMG NOTICE: [NOT AN IMAGE URL, NOT RENDERED INLINE] BscPhoto wrote in post #7389003 I have a problem.

Yeah I agree with Peter, that's unhealthy, and you really don't need that kind of glass. Don't spend more than you can afford. Perry | www.perryge.com

I'm after a 35L and a 50L but no one seems to have stock at the moment, no even the mighty Kerso. I have the cash for one of these two lenses, as soon as one of the above is available...

The 35L has the advantage of being cheaper. For some reason Canon have massively jacked up the 50L's price for no forseable reason and made it's availablility very scarse. I got my replacement 50L from Park Cameras. They had 10 50L's in stock to choose from "To look is to forget the name of the things you are seeing" Paul Valery
