[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 455386, member: 14443"] depends what you shoot. id rather go 24/28mm if im going wide to the 35 end. and if im in the 50 end, id rather go to the 85 end for the compression and aesthetic perspective when shooting people. its a basic portrait lens. you can shoot people with 50. but not a face shot. it doesnt look aesthetically pleasing. you can do a group shot of 3-5 half body shot or 6 people full body and it will look kick a@@. personally when I shoot family formals im far back shooting people with my 70-200. usually it comes out to 70mm when theres more than 5 people wide. 4 people I can also shoot vertically and it fits perfectly. its up to you. looking at your RC car pics on flickr I think the 35 would be better but if youre shooting what youre shooting already then a different focal length may be better to cover your range. dont shoot closeups with the 85 and expect a lot to be in focus. 85 has a small depth of field and if youre shooting closeup of the cars youll be disappointed.
