[QUOTE="Hyogen, post: 108458, member: 12676"] thank you both. I hope the Nikon 50mm 1.8 has more pleasing bokeh than Canon's cheap nifty fifty 50mm 1.8. I found my Sigma 50 1.4 to be much sharper than the nifty fifty. I would probably be looking at used lenses...any idea how much the 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 should go for used? I really like video but am being urged pretty hard by two friends to get the D700 instead. I would actually prefer the 12MP sensor.. but no video KILLS me. I feel that even though it's not meant to be a video camera, video function adds quite a bit of value to the nice lenses.. Before I had any intention of going to Nikon, I wanted to get the Canon 135mm F/2.0L which could be had for about $750 lightly used. How much does the Nikon version go for? I hear it even has an added defocusing feature which is pretty intriguing :) I will call up some nikon dealers and see if they have used/refurbs. [/QUOTE]
