Hi Serhan2, Thanks for providing me the link in DPReview. I enjoyed seeing your gallery. Now, I am happy that I can very well choose 85mm. Thanks, Prad.

I'm glad I saw your post on the 85 1.8. Great gallery! Lovely photos!

Great shots! You use 40D for these, right? Can I ask, did you have these lenses on separate bodies or did you just swap them around as necessary? Did you find it a hassle to swap around, especially in a crowd situation as such? Was there any time where you wished you had a zoom, or time where you missed a shot while changing lenses? Do you have any other sets of pictures that you've taken with this combo? I'm trying to decide what I should buy, while I'm leaning towards the 85/1.8 + 135/2 combo, I'm still hesitant to give up the convenience of zoom lenses i.e. the 70-200/4 IS was the other alternative for me. The 2.8 IS would have been nice but too heavy. Thanks!

Hi, sharp pics, but which photos are taken with the 85mm and which is the 130mm?
