Sounds like you're looking for a "normal" or near normal lens for crop, that is eventually a bit faster than
the standard zoom. I had been there some years ago, and tried ...
- EF 35/2
- Sigma 24/1.8
- EF 28/1.8 USM
- Sigma 30/1.4
For me, the 30/1.4 did it finally. The 28/1.8 would have been a nice lens as well, but it is
more prone to flare than the 30/1.4. The characteristic of the two lenses (28/1.8 + 30/1.4)
is quite the same ... good to very good center (even wide open) ... less good borders and
corners (especially wide open). The 24/1.8 didn't focus accurate enough n low light, and the
35/2 was just not wide enough.
