got up to 350£ to buy a lens which one?

[mike_s_89]

Ive recently bought a home studio kit and am now looking for a new lens for portrait work ive got a canon 60d and just wanted some advice and opinions

85mm 1.8 or the 50mm 1.4

The 85, may be a tad long on the Crop though...

Horses for courses, 85mm is about right for me with an APS-C sensor for head and shoulder portraits.

Firstly, what are your current lenses not doing for you?

Also, how much space do you have?

Answer those two and you will get some more personalised recommendations.

If you can't answer the first, I would suggest putting the £350 aside until you can

I'm using a 60D and I can vouch for the Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens. As said above, it depends on what you're doing though. In smaller spaces, say within 4-5ft the 50mm is nice for head shots, whereas the 85 would be too tight for anything other than head shots.
