<p>Thanks for your opinions. You're right. Maybe I don't really need a new lens. I was just looking for additional sharpness and bokeh in some of my portraits. The Sigma 17-50 is very versatile and is my walk around lens, but it doesn't deliver the results I was looking for. After all my reading and also your comments, I'm still leaning towards the 85 1.8. I've seen great results with the 7D + 85 1.8 combination. Anyways, I plan to use this lens only for outdoors. I know that indoors will be very difficult. I kind of like getting a longer lens too for maybe family weddings, concerts, etc. The other attractive option is the Sigma 35 1.4 but that is $900 while the 85 1.8 is $369. So for the money, I probably go with 85. Maybe I can rent it too and see if it fits my needs. <br> Thanks again to all! I really value your recommendations.</p>

<p>Hi, I own a Canon 7D (1.6 crop sensor) and I would like to buy a lens to be used mainly for Family portraits (mainly outside). I currently have a 17-50 Sigma and a 50 mm 1.8 (plastic fantastic). I'm looking for sharpness and great image quality, for which I prefer a prime lens instead of a Zoom. <br> I've heard wonderful comments about Canon EF 85 1.8 USM, but I'm not sure if for my APS-C sensor camera will be too long. I've also checked the Canon 50 1.4 but since I already have the 50 1.8, not sure if it justify buying it. <br> I know that the 70-200 2.8 II Canon is one of the best, but I don't think it would work week for the APS-C since it will be too long and very impractical. <br> Any other recommendations?<br> Regards,<br> Alejandro.</p>
