[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 135383, member: 13076"] I'm a fan of primes so yes I think a 35 and 85 would be a great combination for high quality portrait/candid work. Although it really depends on how comfortable you are switching lenses. The D600 takes great images in low light with higher ISOs plus it has a built-in flash so you would really do fine with the 24-120 f4 for everyday quick shots and use the 85 for more serious portraits. That way you wouldn't be switching back and forth between the 35 and 85 so often. Plus I would prefer a Nikon zoom over a Sigma prime just from a quality standpoint. For the Sigma to perform as well as the Nikon at f4, you would probably have to stop down to f4 anyway to see really good image quality so it sort of defeats the purpose of having the fast lens.
