50 f1.4 vs 85 f1.8.....

[timmy_650]

I would vote 85 f1.8 and if you want a bit wider you can pick up 50 f1.8 for cheap. I have a nifty 50 and 100 2.8L and I really like the 100 but i do a lot of outside pictures. If you don't have much room, I would go with the 50 f1.4

No comment on 85 f1.8, never own one...

My vote is 50mm(=80mm to FF) for portrait. I used to have this lens prior 50L. On my copy, sharpness starts from f1.8 - f2.

I feel 85mm(=136mm to FF) might be to tight for indoor. I tried 135L on my 5D III few weeks ago, it was little tight for indoor.
