I've been thinking about getting myself a prime lens for my Canon 300D, primarily for portraits.
I've been reading up on the merits for the 50mm f1.4 vs. the 50mm f1.8, but I just spotted something that's thrown a spanner in the works, the new EF-S mount 60mm f2.8 Macro...
I don't have a macro lens at the moment, but have attempted to take a few close up shots of flowers, getting as close as possible with the EF-S 17-85 I've got. So a proper macro lens might be quite nice... But then I'd lose a couple of stops against the f1.4 I had more or less decided on.
Anyone compared these lenses before? Would the 60mm be good for portraits, or should I stick with the 50mm f1.4?
