What Prime???

    after using a Canon 50mm f1.4 at a wedding recently and buying a Sigma 30mm f1.4 even more recently, I've found that I'm in love with primes, to the extent that my 24-70 f2.8 zoom has been relegated from my camera and is now sitting in the bottom of my bag, left there to wonder what it did wrong :D.
    Anyway, I've decided to get rid of that lens and buy either a Canon 50mm f1.4 or a Canon 85mm f1.8. I also have a Canon 100mm macro so I'm a bit unsure as to what length to go for. I had a nifty fifty in the past, so I know I'm comfortable with that length, but I see the 85mm recommended in lots of places and I'm also wondering is it too close to the 100mm macro that I have...

    Anyone care to make my decision easier ???



    (I'm also going to get a big zoom for general use, walkabouts etc - a Sigma 18-200 OS or Tamron 18-250)

    I've got the EF 50mm f1.4 and the EF-S 60mm f2.8 and I have to say the 60mm is far superior. Though you're probably using a ff camera...
