85mm 1.8 is a very good lens , I had this lens before and loved it so much although I didn't use it very often aftert I got my 135mm 2.0
it's razor sharp , fast but a little less contrast compare to the 135mm 2.0,for you and for it's price, you can just take it anyway for a walk around lens in low light[]
