That takes some shopping, the 28/1.8 retails for almost as much as a

I meant to say 31LTD, not 77. Sorry about that. Carrying on though,
a bargain condition EOS 1N, new 28/1.8 and new 85/1.8, all from KEH,
works out to $908. The 31LTD from B&H is about $800. So a little
more, but not too much.
I compared them when I was shooting with Canon gear. The EF 28/1.8USM
was one of my favorite lenses. At least on the 10D, it produced very
sharp, contrasty photos and had nice imaging qualities. I paid $390
for it, new, in 2003.
Like most Canon lenses, it was somewhat lacking in character, but I
wouldn't call it a dog. The Sigma I tried was dung.
