[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 183042, member: 1"] [b]Re: Help me![/b] I would love to have the 85 f/1.8, personally, but a lot of it depends on what you want to do with it. I have the 50 f/1.8D and for the money it's incredible, but you wouldn't have autofocus with that. I like my 35mm f/1.8G too, but I find myself liking the depth of field with the 50. You may feel the same way, again depending on what you plan on shooting. The 105mm would be a good investment if you ever plan on going to FX, but I wouldn't make that my first prime, honestly. It's the most expensive as well. Either way the low light capability will blow you away when compared with the kit lens. FYI, Amazon is offering 4% back right now all of those lenses. You can get even better deals with them used if you want to go that route.
