[QUOTE="scgfiddlesnpics, post: 63641, member: 9967"] Marcel, thank you for your suggestions. Ironically, earlier today while researching portrait lenses, I came across the 24-70mm and read that many of the pros love it and it is a favorite among them. It does look very nice, and I'm very intrigued! Financially, I do have limited funds at the moment, but if this lens (the 24-70) was really something special and worth saving for, I don't mind waiting while putting away money.
