[QUOTE="fhibbs12, post: 164231, member: 12196"] The situation. I guess I would be considered a hobbyist. I have been doing a lot of infant/toddler shots up to about 6-7 year olds for family and friends. I have been using the 85mm 1.8g and love it dearly but I feel like I have been handy capping myself with the prime. Some shots are requiring me to get real close and inside of a 3 year olds "bubble" which is causing them to get uneasy. So the little money I have been collecting for this I was thinking of throwing towards a 70-200. My question. I love the color/contrast of the 85 1.8g. If I move to the Nikkor 70-200 f4 would it be very similar shooting between f4-f5.6 at 85 mm with the added range for close ups being a bonus. I rarely shoot wide open unless I am doing infants. So below 4 is not important to me. Also, what about the tamron 70-200 2.8 VC. The weight is no factor to me. The Nikkor 2.8 is out of the question, budget wise. Therefore, if the tamron or the Nikon is not of at least same quality AT 85 mm f4-f5.6 I won't even be spending the money. Shooting on a d600. Thank you [/QUOTE]
