Recommendations for a budget portrait lens for Canon 90D?

My trusty nifty fifty finally kicked the bucket after four years and I am beyond frustrated. The AF motor is just grinding and it wont lock focus anymore right when I have a graduation shoot scheduled for next weekend in downtown Chicago. I love my 90D but the crop factor makes finding a good, cheap portrait lens kind of a headache since a 50mm acts more like an 85mm and its always felt a bit tight indoors. I only have about 250-300 dollars to spend right now after paying rent. Is there anything sharp with decent bokeh in that range or am I stuck buying another plastic fantastic? Maybe something wider like a 35mm?

In my experience, the Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM is the best fit.

  • Sharp wide open
  • Versatile focal length It handles tight indoor spaces way better.
