Guys,
Any Canon 85mm f/1.8 users on the forum?
I have been offered a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens for £175 but I am sure I could get it for £150 which against a new retail price of £300 would be pretty good value. After checking POTN and ebay it would seem the going price for a used lens over 12 months old is anywhere in the region of £200-£250 but these are boxed examples.
The reviews are promising and the sample photos on POTN and Flickr look fantastic, however as my style of photography is more landscape/travel I’m wondering if 85mm is going to be too long for me.
My Lens line up is currently
17-40mm f/4 L series
24-105mm f/4 IS L Series
70-200mm F/4 (Non IS) L Series
I did have a 50mm f/1.8 Mk1 but recently sold it due to it being a non USM and too noisy
I really want a short-mid range prime lens but with a budget of just £300 my choices are somewhat limited.
