I'm only using fixed focal lengths, always preferred it, I find them sharper and fit my working methods better. Zoom lenses might be practical for action photography though.
Nikkor's 24, 35 and 50mm (all f1.4) are part of my setup. Available from Canon as well I'm sure. If you're willing to step down from the f1.4 models (they are a bit pricy, overall much better though) the focal lengths are available as cheaper models too.
I'd go for the 24mm and invest in the 85mm later on as it's a great length that one too, and very sharp (at least the f1.4 model) but the 85mm is less versatile in my experience.
Suggest you try them out first... you might totally disagree with me :)
- 85mm is a neat focal length for portrait closeups ... it all depends what you're focusing on I guess.Arild
