I used the Canon 28mm 1.8 on my 40D for many years with good success. It's far from a perfect lens but it's better than many think. Primes for Canon APS-c are limited for sure! It's one of my favourite things about my 5D is the primes I have available.

+1 . Always found 50mm on my 80D just too zoomed in and didn't find the 24 much better than my zoom.

I found 35 worked well, but didn't use it much.

Got a used 6D a while ago to see what FF was all about. The 24-105 never gets used, always have a 35, 50 or 100 prime instead.
