I bought my camera (200D) around a year ago and have been using the kit lens with it ever since, which has served me fine for a while. However I'd like to buy a lens with a lower f-stop so I can get bigger bokeh blurs in the backgrounds of my shots, and take better photos/videos in low light.
I'd be looking to get a lens with a preferrable f-stop of around 1.2-2.5.
I've been looking at buying the 50mm f1.8 lens, but was deterred from it when I found out that the crop sensor on my camera would effectively decrease the bokeh effect to something more similar to a lens with an f-stop of 3. Are there any alternatives that actually give me a 1.8 bokeh effect or are my options kinda limited because of the crop sensor?
Thanks!

"the EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM or Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD"
Not even a choice. Go with the Canon Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens. Notice the "L".
EOS 1D, EOS 1D MK IIn, EOS 1D MK III, EOS 1Ds MK III, EOS 1D MK IV and EOS 1DX and many lenses.

While sharing YOUR LIST, Ernie gave the opinion that the Canon was the better choice. What is wrong with that?
