Witch lens you raccomandet to me with future 70-200

Hello Barbara.
Why do you want a 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 exactly? Your 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM has 50mm too, so what is it exactly you want a bigger aperture for? Is it specifically for portraits, or specifically for shallow depth of focus? Or any other reason?
Personally I prefer 85mm over 50mm on APS-C cameras like your 550D. The more narrow field of view gives more attractive photos.
Neither 50mm or 85mm make sense to me when photographing family members visiting cities (if the scenery is to be shown in the images too)... Also big apertures seem a bit strange in this respect. That is why I asked the questions above, to get a better understanding of what you are looking for.
