Re: Prime or Zoom?
the 24-70 and 85 1.4 are apples to oranges. Without the 24-70, what do you intend to use for full-body shots or group shots or reception shots? Sure the 85 is a great portrait lens. The 24-70 isn't but that's not what it's really for (you'd be better off using 70-200 2.8 for your portraits than the 24-70). I just don't see… -
Prime or Zoom?
Hey all, I need your opinion on something. I currently have a couple of pro zooms (24-70 and 70-200) and I'm thinking about dropping the 24-70 and buying an 85mm 1.4... I mostly shoot portraits and weddings, and I know that the 85 1.4 is great for portraits. I'm just concerned about its versatility for weddings. I don't… -
Re: Prime or Zoom?
I'd get the new 85 1.8 (or rent one). It looks like it's gonna be pretty sweet. I'd keep the 24-70 and 70-200, and try to scrape up enough cash to get the 85 1.8. Primes vs zooms really depends on your style. Primes, you have to change lenses more often (usually). Primes, more bokeh. Primes, sharper. Primes, better image… -
Re: Prime or Zoom?
good point. My biggest pet peeve is changing lenses in the field, and that's what I'm trying to avoid. I plan to keep the 70-200 on my D7000 and have the other lens on the D700. I know the 24-70 is the better lens, but does anyone know how it compares to the newer 24-120 f4? Maybe a better question is, is the 85mm 1.4… -
Re: Prime or Zoom?
I saw the MSRP on the new 85 1.8 is only $499, which is exciting. I just recently sold my D90 and bought a D700 & D7000 (2011 was a good year ), so moving forward I will probably use both the 24-70 and 70-200 at the same time. My only main reservation is that I really hate to change lenses in the field, but I can probably… -
Re: Prime or Zoom?
for my .00002 cents worth...personally...if all I was doing was portraits and weddings...I would stay with the 24-70 / 70-200 and leave it at that... I shot for over 20 yrs with only a 70-210 ...I mean everything at the wedding...yes I had to be a ways back for very large wedding parties but my flashes had guide numbers of…
