Re: Need some group therapy on lens selection
I'm not convinced that's true from my experience, or by this: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=115&FLI=0&API=4&LensComp=398&FLIComp=4&APIComp=0&Camera=453&CameraComp=474&Sample=0&SampleComp=0 You can play around with different apertures too. Looks like the 50 1.4 wins across the… -
Re: Need some group therapy on lens selection
Those test results don't jive with my experience, nor those of many I've read online. I've looked at several of those tests at that site for many different lenses, and that 17-55 shows some of the poorest results I've ever seen there. One might even think it was a bad lens.

The OP's original question was how to fill in the gap between 50mm and 135mm, so how can a 50-135mm lens possibly be "too short" in those terms? It's literally a perfect fit for the stated requirements. Ideally, he's already said he'd rather have the $1800 70-200 f/2.8 IS, but if that's beyond his budget for now, he has to… -
Re: Need some group therapy on lens selection
FWIW (late to the party - sorry), I've been wrestling with the same 50-100 gap. I currently have the 135L and 100 f2 (which I will probably swap out for an 85 1.8 now I have the longer lens) but seriously? I love the 135 so darned much, that I'm finding I'd rather step back a little whenever I can; the only advantage I'm… -
