[QUOTE="Winthor, post: 830036, member: 56726"] I take pictures around the farm and the widest lens I have is 45mm. I'm looking at the nikon 24mm 1.8g ed and the tamron 85mm 1.8 di vc. For portraiture I already have a nikon 70-200 VR II zoom lens, and a tokina 100mm 2.8 at-x pro macro. I've had a 24mm in a 24-70 zoom lens and I enjoyed it at 24mm. I got rid of it because I need something sharper than the 24-70 zoom on my d850. Do I want a wide angle to round myself out or do I want the modern sharpness, vc, and soft falloff bokeh of the 85mm tamron to upgrade my portraiture? If I get the 85mm I'll be able to carry around a 45mm and 85mm easily, as they're small and handleable lenses in contrast to carrying a 45mm and a large 3lb 70-200 zoom lens. But how much would I crave that 24mm if I did decide to go with a 45+85 duo? The 24 DOES make really cool images in the woods giving that feeling of depth between the trees...hmmmm.... opinions?
