[QUOTE="Porkibear, post: 280604, member: 22251"] Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about how I take portrait shots before choosing which prime lens, and I'm the type of person who likes to get closer to the subject when shooting. Unless I'm shooting candid, I found it easier to have the shorter focal length, especially in tight areas. I have to hit myself on the side of the head every time I'm making these purchase decisions because I am only a photo hobbyist. Never going to step into wedding photography...especially here in Southern California where wedding photographers saturate the market. I have to remember that I'm getting these accessories, lens, FX...simply to take pictures for a hobby. Like all hobbies I've been engrossed in-- things can get expensive. As they say, "you gotta pay to play"... So yes...all good suggestions here. 85mm and 105mm were also both in my bucket list. :) [/QUOTE]
