What do you guys think about this lens?
http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-canon-ef-85mm-f1-8-usm-lens/p12816
After taking some images of my kids and our friends kids on the beach on Good Friday using my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 it occurred to me I could do with more reach and even MN ore background blur. I am trying to improve my portraits but don't have room in my house (until we've extended) to use 85mm, but it looks ideal for outside. I have the Canon 55-250mm but I'm assuming the 85mm prime is in a completely different league? Or do I save my money and use the 55-250mm, which at the moment rarely comes out the bag?
It will be used on my 60D until I can finally afford the 6D.
Thanks in advance.
