Hi,

I don't shot Canon myself but a friend has a Canon EOS 700D with a EFS 18-55 mm lens. He now would like to expand his photography from beginner level and learn more of different settings and take his compositions to the next level etc. That part I can help him with.

He also wants to be able to shot indoor portraits and buy a faster prime lens than the zoom. I looked at what I think is the correct Canon APS-C lens types, but I couldn't really find any 50 or 85 mm equivalent lenses (around f1.8 or so), so with this message I hope someone can help in finding what works the best with his 700D body?

Thanks and best regards from Sweden!

The lenses that immediately come to mind are the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM (56mm equiv), the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (80mm equiv), and the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM (135mm equiv).

Good reviews can be found here...

ps. There is the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM also, but carefully read reviews.
