I was thinking the other day about how nice the 35mm/85mm/135mm combo is spread out between really useful focal lengths, but that collecting the whole set means a fair commitment to cash outlay.
Why not do the same thing on the cheap in APS-C?
38.4mm --> EF-S 24mm f2.8 STM pancake
80mm --> EF 50mm f1.8 STM
136mm --> EF 85mm F1.8 USM
Obviously there are sacrifices in build quality and speed, but what Unholy Trinity wouldn't embrace such compromise? One still benefits enormously in sharpness and speed relative to zooms at the same price points.
Use these lenses with a 100D/SL1 body and you could carry everything in the pockets of your skinny jeans.
Put that 85 / 1.8 in your front pocket of those skinny jeans and you'll make some friends real quick.
