broke my Canon 50mm F1.4 ... considering replacements

[acko]

Hmmmm, When I started on my cycle of moving to better glass I made (which was sometime ago) a decision that in the mid term I would go FF so only buy FF type lens ie 24-105 L. I made the decision about 2 yrs or so ago and though I still dont have my 5D :-( , I am glad I did as my purchase of the 5D3 is not that far away and considering the cost of he body I am glad I decided to go FF lens only and will not be burdened with the cost of upgrading EFS lens. Not sure what the Tammy is but just room for thought.

Well that is also my thoughts on lenses. As the 5D111 seems to have dropped under $3500 now, it's not far off for me.

Still, William W thanks for all your ideas and insights.

Yes the 5D3 is getting closer and closer to $3000 ! It's looking good isn't it?
I'm liking my 24-70 a lot on the crop body, it's equivalent to 38-112 field of view on FF, so I'll probably be interested by a 24-105L when I get that 5D3. I'm missing the speed of my 50mm 1.4 though (80mm equiv on 7D), so I'll probably soon get a 50 1.4 replacement, probably the Sigma version. When I go FF, if the 100mm f/2 is too long as a portrait lens, I'd probably be interested in a 85mm. The Canon 1.2 seems a bit over the top, so Canon 1.8 or Sigma 85 1.4 a looking good. Other lenses in my radar are kind of obvious: 135 f/2L, 16-35 f/2.8L, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II.

I'm still thinking about an EF-S 15-85 as a daytime walkaround for the 7D though. It's not fast at all, but it's rather light compared to the other lenses, has a nice build quality, a fantastic range and good image quality. I'll see how it goes once I have bought another 50mm 1.4 ...

Thank you - OK.

Just found a used Sigma 50 1.4 for $350 two streets away from my home! Awesome!
