[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 294453, member: 14443"] you will need more than 1 flash, but that aside, I wouldnt invest in the 50. most definitely an 85 1.8g from tests I have seen, it and the 1.4 are on the same level optically. the best lens of the century next to the 50's IMO. shame for the slow AF or I would have bought it long time ago. [url=http://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-85mm-f1-8g/5]Nikon 85mm f/1.8G Review - Page 5 of 8[/url] you have the 24-85 and its fine for the bulk. stop it down to f/5. u have the 35 which is a 50 so use that. the area youre lacking is the 100mm+ but if you keep your 70-300 to below 135mm, you will be fine quality wise. just curious, what time of the day are the family formals usually done? im to the right of the map and we shoot family formals around 7pm. and basically tis very dark. I use 2 umbrellas with slaves and a backlit flash and highish iso. looks very nice. [/QUOTE]
