If its any help at all. The 85 1.2 is likely the most sought after portrait lens in the canon lineup. Probably the most coveted as well. I have the 85 1.8 and have used it on crop and full frame and really see the versatility in that focal length. The 50 is normal and can be used I think in a more photojournalistic style.

In my honest opinion you are going to be stoked no matter which one you go with.

Good luck in making a tough choice there.

Dave.



P.S. There is always the idea of just buying both. Go big or go home right?
