[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 338600, member: 12257"] Yup, I've read the thread, learned a lot, and stayed out of it because I can't even begin to get anywhere near the technical levels of some of that discussion... but telling someone to "stop" using a lens they have? BLAH! On a DX camera, the 50mm works well, especially in the hands of a good photog, and I'd be willing to say it can be put to good use on any camera, DX or FX. Is the 85mm [I]better[/I] for portraits? I'd say yup, and the 85mm 1.8G is on my short list with the 105mm macro for which lens I'm going to buy next, but don't stop using a tool that works! If used correctly, [I]most[/I] folks aren't going to see the huge difference. Again, just my .02, which is usually worth about .00000001. [/QUOTE]
