I like the idea of Prime Only lens. I have the original 6 year old 6MP Rebel(17mm-85mm) for home use, but I might put an 85 f1.8 on it.


I sold my Bronica ETRSi (with three Prime lens) and I really miss the huge negative (15 years of Weddings). At work (Gov. Video Production), for stills, I use a Canon 5D (28-135 and a 2.8 70-200). My work back up is a D60.


For home, I'd like a new T1i (15MP). If I upgrade, I am buying a Canon 85mm f1.8, as the lens to keep on the camera. I was going to get the 50D, but why spend more money, when I already print 36"x36" enlargements from my RAW images, from my 6 year old Canon Rebel?


I was going to buy a Hasselblad, with three prime lens, on Ebay, for the big 6x6 negative, but my custom lab, said, "don't bother, just buy good glass for your new 15MP digital camera.


Any thoughts, before I spend $799 on the T1i or $1,098 for the 50D?
