5DMII + 85 1.8 vs 60D + 50L

Dec 20, 2011

Hi,

I want to buy a very good portrait setup. I am not sure about what is better:

60D with 50 1.2 L
5D mark II with 85 1.8

I really like the focal length on both setups. In the last days I'm leaning to the 5DMII but then I see that L glass somewhere on the web and start getting greedy x)

I usually don't buy used stuff, so 60D with 50L is a bit more expensive here in europe (2250 vs 2050).

What would you guys say?
