Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the 85mm 1.8. I read from somewhere that you guys have purchased it for a great deal (380) or something.. but then again I've seen you guys selling it so i was wondering if there's something wrong with the lens or did you switch to another alternative.
I'm currently using a 24-60 2.8 Sigma and am looking for a sharper copy for portrait purposes.

I heard 85mm F1.8 is good for portraits and I would imagine so. If you're using it on a crop sensor it'll be like 125mm. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'm currently using a 24-60 2.8 Sigma and am looking for a sharper copy for portrait purposes. | 50mm 1.8! cheap and perfect on a crop.
or 50mm 1.4 if you want to dish out a little more

I have a 50mm 1.4 and I find it too long to use indoors with my D90.
Ideas on selling it and getting a 35mm 1.8?

I love my 35mm, how its close to what you see.
I have like.. 6 manual 50mm's but the 35 is perfect for a crop body.

FYI, the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 is sharper than the 50mm f1.4G at all apertures. I would keep the 24-70 f2.8 unless you need the wide aperture of the 50mm.

I am looking into shooting models, with emphasis on portraiting long, slender legs. Such as the sample photo above.
Can someone advise what specific lense(s) from Nikon I should consider getting, when using a D7000?

fyi, the Nikon 35mm 1.8G is $249 at Blacks.
Time to price match my $10 back.

The only apertures I tried that day.
Could be the luck of the draw and I'll have to figure it out later tonight.

Maybe we have a shitty copy of the 50mm...it's possible. Of course, there are many variables that come into play too, unless you have a controlled environment.

I've decided to return the 50mm in favor of the 24-70. I'll probably just end up selling my D300 soon and see what the D700 goes for when it gets discontinued.
