I have a 7D and the EF 50 1.8 II lens. Then lens is OK, it's sort of soft for my liking at 1.8-2.8 which is where I want to buy this lens. Some shots come out good, some don't, I'm not sure why. It's also a little long for me while indoors.

I'm considering the EF 40 2.8 as it is a little wider on the 7D vs the 50. However, I'm wondering if 2.8 is wide enough. I'll have to look in Lightroom to see what I normally shoot with on the 50. I know I've used 1.8 for certain shots during Christmas for the bokeh.

Does anyone have any comparisons between the two lenses?
