New (To Me) Lenses

A while back I mentioned the advantage of buying used lenses.  Well, putting my money where my mouth is --literally-- I picked up a pair of new prime lenses for myself yesterday.

On the left, a Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 -- on my crop body, this is about equivalent to a 'standard' focal length of 45mm.  It should serve as a nice, fast indoor/low light lens.

On the right, a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 -- equivalent to 136mm on my camera, this is a great, sharp lens that I intend on using for portrait photography.  Anyone want their photo taken?

I'll be sure to post up my thoughts on each after I've had a chance to play with them.
