Which prime lens should I buy for my Canon 90D?

im honestly so fed up with my kit lens on this 90D it is driving me crazy how soft every single shot looks when the light drops even just a little bit. i spent all this money on a nice body and the photos look like they came from an old phone sometimes and i just need that crisp prime look.

so i was thinking about the nifty fifty because everyone says to get it but on a crop sensor like the 90D isnt that gonna be way too zoomed in for like everyday street stuff? my logic was maybe the 24mm pancake because its tiny and i could just carry it everywhere but then i worry the f2.8 isnt fast enough for what i want. i have this trip to chicago coming up in three weeks and i really want to get some killer night shots of the city skyline and maybe some portraits of my girlfriend.

i have about 450 bucks saved up for this. then i saw the sigma 30mm 1.4 and now im just stuck because i dont know if i should stay with canon glass or go third party... its so exciting thinking about finally getting that blurry background but i dont want to waste my money on the wrong focal length. what do you guys think is the sweet spot for the 90D specifically so i dont regret it later?

Unfortunately, my third-party lenses had focus issues that were really disappointing. I suggest sticking with brand-name glass for reliability tho.

  • Is low light the main priority?
  • Do you prefer wider shots or tight portraits?
