With certain lenses such as manual focus 85mm 1.4 can be had for around $190 used and create lovely background blur.
You can often find a used Canon 85/1.8 AF lens for $200. I have been lusting after the 85/1.4L but that's a lot more than $200.
I am talking about manual focus models like Samyang. The lowest 85mm 1.4 autofocus you will find used is the Sigma used around $500. I have the model before the ART model and it is incredibly sharp on my D800.
I know, but I'd rather get a Canon AF lens for $10 more. There's not that much difference between f/1.8 and f/1.4.
Edit: I already have the Canon 85/1.8 EF. Just saying.
Yeah, I rarely manually focus and have much diminished ability to do it.
There is also the Canon 50mm 1.8 STM that can be used for all purposes and blurs background decently.
