I would think that lens rather long for a crop sensor T2i camera.


Thanks for replying Chuck. I know what the norm is, but I just didn't like 50mm on a crop-camera at all. Of course at the time I was using the 50mm 1.8 which I didn't like anyway. But honestly I really like the 50mm on full frame. It totally madesense to me why this was "the" standard lens for 35mm camera's. I haven't used an 85mm lens on full frame yet, but I must say that the 100mm macro is also a very nice portrait lens [A]
