The 85f1.8 is wonderful at flower shows etc with either an 8 or 12mm extension tube. After seeing the results of trying this combo the first time, I felt like I\'d struck gold.
But in a week, I have a baby and a 5D Mk II hopefully coming my way (bets are on which one will arrive first!) and am strongly considering adding an 85L to my lens list, just for that touch of something special which the f1.8 lacks (and no, I\'m not talking about CA!).
Like what? in what way would any of the above posted images look better for having been shot on the L?
Remember too the 1.8 is faster autofocus. Much better for children.
