[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 610959, member: 13556"] The lenses Marcel mentioned are Nikon lenses, and are rather inexpensive. I own the Nikon 85mm AF-S f/1.8 G lens, and I'm very happy with its performance. I purchased mine on sale a couple of years ago from Nikon USA and it cost a bit over $400 US. There are times when I've thought about the Nikon or Sigma Art 85mm f/1.4 lenses, but either of them is significantly more expensive than the f/1.8 version. However, with your list of uses and photographic interests, I'm not sure that you're going to be covered with one more lens. You've got a tough choice; think it through and choose knowing that as you grow as a photographer, your needs grow, but in most cases, the needs are outgrown by what you want, which leads to GAS, or more specifically, NAS, for Nikon owners. ;) WM [/QUOTE]
