EF 85mm f/1.8?

seems like you are not getting this lens for macro photography that much, so, have you considered a canon EF 85mm f1.8? it is quite a decent lens, fast AF, fast aperture, small, an fantastic for portrait! you can find a mint condition second one for a very decent price, IMO.

I've had that lens on my 7D, but LoCA was quite pronounced and IMHO, it's too short for portraiture on FF. I sold it when I bought my Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 which is a sweet portrait lens on APS-C.

I know many people like it though, so thanks anyway.
