Re: Canon 85mm 1.8 vs. 50mm 1.4
I think the camera makes a difference. On a 1.6 crop, I feel the 50 1.4 is great for portait shots with the 85 leading the way on a FF. I actually sold my 85 1.8 because I didn't use it much on my 20D since I tended to use the 70-200 2.8 IS L for the focal length more. Even though the 85 was faster, the IS helped a lot.… -

Re: Canon 85mm 1.8 vs. 50mm 1.4
Both will work very well. They 85 is better wide open, but will be rarely used at that aperture. Both will easily be resold. Going through my shots I actually used the 85 more for animal portraits. I would also like to mention that even though it's big, I really love using my 70-200 2.8 IS L for portraits. Examples are… -

The AF is a bit slower and noisy and the lens is soft enough at f/1.4 that I feel like I have to make sure it is stopped down… -

Canon 85mm 1.8 vs. 50mm 1.4
I love my Canon 50mm 1.8 for portraits and would like to upgrade to the 85mm 1.2...can't afford that right now, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the 85mm 1.8 vs. the 50mm 1.4. I have read great things about the 85 mm, but think it would be nice to have the extra f/stop with the 50mm 1.4. Any… -
