Quoting Mrs.Dani:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:</b>" It's the ear."</blockquote> Oh ok. I couldn't tell. Beautiful pic!"

Thank you.  

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" haha. This will be fun doing it by myself.   At least I can only be unsatisfied with myself and not ... [snip!] ... with myself and not paying someone else that I'm really not comfortable paying for because K doesn't want to pay a lot haha."

Did you say you have a remote or are you doing a timer?

Quoting ℐαzmчn:" Ok so I have a question for you ladies. As a part of my birthday present & Christmas present combined, ... [snip!] ... take indoor photos but it would be a good lens to have just in case. Ugh I can't make a decision. Lol what would you choose?"

If you rarely take indoor photos then I'd go 85mm or upgrade the 50mm. I am not a big fan of my 85mm but I know a lot of people are.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" Did you say you have a remote or are you doing a timer?"

Remote. I'm gonna get K to sit with Tyler and then put the camera on a tripod and adjust the AF points on K and Tyler and then go and sit next to them.

Well since you have a remote you can position yourself, versus the run lol.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" Well since you have a remote you can position yourself, versus the run lol."

haha. Yeah. I said there's no way I'm running. haha.

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" hahahaha. I'm contemplating the last two because I have the 50 1.8, 35 2, kit lens, and 28-200. I'm gonna get the 50 1.4 first though."

How often do you use your 35mm? I'm not even sure if I'd use it much because I hear it has quite a bit a of distortion when it comes to portraits, especially if you don't compose it right.

If you don't mind me asking, why aren't you a fan of the 85mm? Lol sorry for all the questions. I'm trying to compile a list of pros and cons before I make my decision.

Yeahhh. I wasn't thrilled with it for outdoors. Newborns was good. But I still use my 50 98% of the time.

Alright thanks and you have a crop body right? I probably won't be photographing any newborns anytime soon so I'll probably wait on that lens.

Personally I find MY copy to be slow moving and have a high amount of CA. I love my 50mm. But I've been meaning to send my 85mm into Canon for a little TLC to see if I like it any better. But, I can't imagine not shooting with my 50mm.

total newb question but is there that much of a difference between the 50 1.4 and the 50 1.8? I mean enough of of difference to have both?

Quoting Larry!:" total newb question but is there that much of a difference between the 50 1.4 and the 50 1.8? I mean enough of of difference to have both?"

There is a considerable difference, but the only reason to have both is to have a backup of that focal length.

Yeah. I have the 7D.

Alright thank you!
