Hello,

Quick question, would love your opinion. I love taking portraits (not as a professional, just as a hobby); I have the Canon 50mm f/1.4, and am considering buying the 100mm f/2.0. Do you think I'm wasting my money? Keep in mind I'm currently using an EOS 30D (which I LOVE, and with some Photoshop work it meets all my needs) so I'm not really getting 50mm, but rather ~80mm equivalent.)

Thanks!

I use it on a 6D and it is an excellent portrait lens. Might be a bit long on a 30D though?
