Hi ! I own both the 56 and the 90,and use them almost daily.

Both are excellent, there's no bad choice here.

As you already own the 50 mm f2, I think you have two options :

- keep the 50 and get the 90

- sell the 50 and buy the 56 instead (I don't see the point of owning both)

The longer focal lengh of the 90 makes it less versatile, but gives you a superb rendering. It's also WR, has beter AF and can focus closer than the 56.

The 56 is amazing in low light (F1. 2 !). Its focal lengh is perfect for all kind of portraits (full body, etc).

If I had to chose only one, I'd take the 56 which is my most used lens (wedding photographer). But you already own the 50 mm, so your situation is different.

Do you have the possibility to try them before making yoir decision ?
