[QUOTE="samuraishot, post: 49922, member: 9087"] As some of you know, I I recently upgraded from a D70 to a D300. I already have a Tokina 11-16mm for my architecture and landscape shots, which is a great lens, by the way. I also have a 50mm 1.8 that's been a blast to use. Now I have a few questions and would like your opinions on which lens I should get next. I have the opportunity to purchase 1 of the 3 lenses in the thread title from a friend who's moving to Canon equipment by the end of the summer and he's giving me first dibs on his lenses. I'm looking for a general use lens, which leads me to the 17-55mm, but I've also heard great things of the 85mm being an awesome portrait lens. Which is better? Also, should I get rid of the 50mm 1.8 and get the 1.4? What would be a dynamite combo? :cool: [/QUOTE]
