Note From Jim
Trust me, you want the Canon 85mm f/1.8. It's almost not worth putting anything else on this page. It's sharp, focuses fast, has a super fast aperture, is lightweight, and Canon sells it for a very aggressive price. I personally find the 85mm focal length to be far more usable for portraiture on a full frame camera than a 50mm lens.
