[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 13833, member: 753"] The 85 mm was my choice for portraits when I shot film (full frame) On a DX body the 50 mm will give 75 mm equivalent so that is still a good (similar) choice. Rokinon makes a 85mm 1.4 manual focus lens for about $250 that has actually reviewed fairly well (These lenses are made by Samyang and sold under lots of different names, including Bower, Rokinon, Vivitar, and probably others). You could pick up a 50 mm 1.8 Nikkor and the Rokinon 85 mm for about $365 which isn't bad for two prime lenses. [/QUOTE]
