I have the 18-55 and the 23 1.4. I'd never sell either one of them. I sold a 23 1.4 once and regretted it until I bought it again. Learned my lesson. The 18-55 is just too versatile to sell. I've also had it since 2013, so it would be like selling one of my children. I've never used the 50, but I own the 56, and it's another great lens. I recently bought the 60mm, and should take delivery of it today, but it might be awhile before I can comment on it.

For me, lenses are like paint brushes. I can never have too many of them, and I wish I owned all of them.

Please let me know what you think! I'm leaning more and more towards the 60 but I'm still worried it might be too slow for my liking... F/2 would be a bare minimum on aps-c, but then again, does half a stop even matter that much?
