The 100mm f2.8L Macro is a mindblowing good lens.
It's a damn shame it is so big! I end up not using it as often. It's tack sharp, vivid and beautiful. And being a macro you can pretty much focus on anything you can see from the tip of your nose to the horizon. Yes it is a macro, but it works fine as a medium tele.
Speaking of tele, a medium tele, Canon 85mm f1.8 is another good lens. Not as great as the L series, but lighter and more easy to handle. It has a smooth roll off into out of focus areas. Good color and sharpness when stopped down. But a really great portrait lens wide open.
The Olympus M Zuiko, not a Canon lens, and not adaptable even for APSC, as it is a M43 sized lens.
The F1.4 50mm Canon is a kind of odd man out. It's a good lens, but I find it hard to justify the extra expense over the F1.8 MKII. Which now has a reasonable focus ring, and is in most respects just as good.
I got the 50mm sooner in the year, and I think that it is an essential lens, especially to start real photography. It gives the opportunity to try many different kind of photography even with hard conditions
Personally prefer Nikon lenses, myself. To each their own, I suppose.

Me too. Unfortunately I can never get them to mount up on the Canon bodies that I prefer.
