| 50mm f/1.8 ... cuz they take RIDICULOUSLY SHARP pictures... and I like that...
I'd also like to get a 28-135mm cuz I think that'd be a better everyday lens than my kit lens or my 28-90 | |

the 85mm is a great portrait lens.. and the 105 is a great macro lens.
or you could get a sigma 70-300 for 1/4 the price.. | |
