[QUOTE="robin623, post: 91026, member: 10986"] After much reading it seems the obvious choice for a portrait lens is the 50mm focal length which gives a field of view of 75mm. Used on a young lady friends D80 which would you choose and is f/1.8 fast enough for portraits? Based on B&H prices the f/1.8 D is $107 grey market and the G is $216.95. In a portrait session at an upcoming wedding would the G lens be preferred or would both do essentially the same job? Is the D a good choice on a tight budget? The lens will compliment her 18-135 kit lens and [IMG]http://com-abouts.us/com/index.jpg[/IMG]SB-600. [/QUOTE]
