As a photographer, have encountered so many other photographers who use sophisticated gears but produce absolutely nothing with it. Some people have bought canon 5D mark III with 85mm 1.8 lens because I use it and ended up not getting anything close to my kind of result.

The major reason is because they don't understand apature. 

You can't say that you are a professional photographer, if you don't know about apature. 
A photographer should be able to understand when to use a higher or lower apature depending on the result he wants to achieve with it.   

Many people complain that their prime lens don't produce very sharp images, especially when they shoot on wider apature like f 1.8 or f 2.2 respectively...

Except if you are a landscape photographer, you may need to be shooting on wider apature more often.
What is apature? 

Apature is the opening and closing of the camera. If you want your lens to open up very well to allow in more light, you will have to open your apature more. Eg, if you are using 50mm 1.8 lens, the wider apature is 1.8. the lower, the wider and the higher the tighter.

If you increase you apature to f22, you will find out that you won't see light or take bright images even if you increase your ISO. What this means is that you have closed up our camera to stop light from coming in.

Photography is the art of bending light and using light to produce images.

A good photographer understands when to use a wider or tighter apature.

Use a tighter Apature only if you want to capture more details into your shot. Like if you want to capture the environs, you want a more detailed shot etc, but if you want a more secluded image, you have to use a wide apature like 1.8, 1.2, 2.2 etc....

My background is always blur because I'm a portrait photographer and I always want my images separated from the background.

No time for background manipulation, so I have to make sure I use a wider apature always.

35mm will not give you the same blur you can get with a 50mm even if you shoot at 1.8. the focus distance will determine how blurry the background will look. So don't just buy a 35mm 1.8 lens and expect to use it to get a good bokeh, except you are only buying it because you want to use it's advantages of low light or the convenience of shooting at a very close distance,but if you are going for blurry background, a longer focus will give you more bokeh.

I have a 50mm 1.8 before I bought my 85mm 1.8. I use my 85mm for portraits and my 50mm for convenience especially when shooting events.

I hope this will help someone out there.

Have a good day ahead
