i have been trying to decide between the 50 or the 85. i need a faster
lens to use for available light photography. i have the 28-105 and the
100-300 usm which are very slow and need a very fast film or flash. most
of my photos are of travel and wildlife.
i use the 28-105 as an all purpose lens but i think a faster lens
would allow a greater range of film selection and of course the use of
natural light.
i am only an amateur at this so any suggestions are appreciated. the
camera body is an a2e. i can not afford the L series.

Jim,
Its overlap either way, but if I had to pick one it would be the 50mm F1.4.
Since you say most of your photos are travel and wildlife the 50mm would
give you a wider perspective.
Now, if you travel and take photos of people more than the 85mm F1.8 may be
the better choice.
If you buy an extension ring you can even use the 50mm as a quasi-macro.
