I'm looking to add some primes ....for low light pics of landscapes, indoor family with out flash, and for taking pics in museums with poor lighting. I will have about $1000.00 to spend. I was looking 28/2, 35/2, 50/1.8, 85/1.8 USM, for a total of about $760, for $200 more, is the 50/1.4 USM that much better of a lens then the 50/1.8? I'm just rookie here, been out of the photo game for about 12 yrs, got back in the game about 6 months ago. I have currently a Rebel Ti with 28-90/4-5.6 and 75-300/4- 5.6 III and an AE-1 Program with a 28/2.8, 50/1.8, 135/3.5 SC, and 200/4. In the past few weeks I have been trying to take pics of my kids with-out the flash to keep red eye down and have found the FD primes I have a lot better in low light than the EF zooms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ Mark, The 35mm F2 is a steal at the price it sells for as is the 50mm F1.8 Mk II. The Mk II is sharper that the older Mk 1 but it is made with more plastic. I have the 50mm F1.4 and there is a minor difference betweem the 1.8 Mk II and the 1.4. The 85mm F1.8 is a great all around lens, very sharp. I am not familiar wth the 28mm F2 unless you mean F2.8. The 28mm F2.8 is sharper than the EF 28mm F1.8. Have you considered the 28-135mm IS lens? Good for low light since it has image stabilization.
