... the cheapest one, 50/1.8, but it wasn't in stock at that moment, so I decided to go for 100/2.0. I was never disappointed. This lens is quite fast: 2.0 at 100mm is a pretty wide aperture. The bokeh is very nice as well. In terms of quality, it's one of the best lenses from Canon. It produces pin-sharp images starting from f/2.0. It captures the skin tones very accurately, and the images look very natural. The contrast is great, and it deals with contra-lighting very well. The lens is quite compact and light. T...more
