The other piece is distance from lens to subject, the closer the better with either lens. With that, as you mentioned you will need to be closer with the 50mm to compensate for the focal length. The only other variable is the fact that the 85 1.8g is simply a better lens and you will get very slightly better bokeh from it over the 50mm. The 50mm is a great lens, but the 85 1.8g is better.</p></blockquote><p></p>
