[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 109764, member: 9237"] That is the question.. Basically, I can't get over the constant slow aperture of the glass. I love the lens, dont get me wrong, but find myself limited when I want to blow out the background in a bad way. I think I'll really miss the 16-24mm range and at the moment, only have money to plunk down on one lens. The 85mm 1.8g is attractive to me for a few reasons. One, probably because I'm looking toward the FF solution in the future and want to have my bases covered as far as normal lenses go. And two, the faster glass. Sigh..What do you think? Should I sell the 16-85 in favor of the 85 1.8g? EDIT: Also interesting of note is that recently I haven't really been using the lens all that much. It's just been sitting in the wings. I already have a 35 1.8, a 40 2.8 and a 50 1.4, so the range seems a little bit redundant. [/QUOTE]
