I have a non-L 50mm so maybe I should take a closer look at the one you suggest. I am heading toward winter in Wisconsin and usually don't do a lot of shooting outdoors during that time. It will give me time to practice my portrait shooting and save up for come spring when I take inventory of my lenses and make a decision on what goes, what stays and what gets purchased. All new reviews should be out by that time also.

So in the meantime ...on with you on the "save up" plan!

The 50L is an amazing lens. Easily my most used and most trusted lens. The image quality is quite a bit better than my 24-70 and it is so much more fun to shoot with.

As of right now, my decision is to send it back but I will try it out alittle more after work tomorrow just to be sure. [:(]

I looked up the price of the sigma 85. I think for that price I would go for the Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM. My be a bit long for you crop body. For my FF it is the next prime I plan on.
