[QUOTE="fhibbs12, post: 511817, member: 12196"] My current gear. Camera Bodies D750 A600 Lens Sigma 35 1.4 Art Nikkor 50 1.8 G Nikkor 85 1.8 G Tamron 70-200 2.8 VC USD 2 Basic zooms for the A6000(Mainly for my wifes use) I love my Tamron. Personally, I shoot it over any other lens I have(given the distance restraints). As the colder months are hitting, I am moving alot of my people pictures indoors and am also getting alot of requests for indoor/event/on location stuff. My problem, I planning on purchasing a lens, Portrait/Child photography mainly. My 50 1.8g just doesn't WoW me and given the opportunity I keep grabbing the 70-200 over the 85 1.8g. While my sigma 35 Art wows me outside on my scenic shots it is failing my insidet. It also, isn't a preferred Focal length by me, it seems like I am always looking for slightly wider or slightly closer. My budget allows for a few different lens combinations that I have been trying to do research on. Remember, I use my 70-200 80% of the time compared to all 3 of the others 20% of the time and I am a firm believer to if it is not being used I don't need it. Options: Keep the current 3 primes and Purchase Tamron 24-70($1099) and given I like the colors of the 70-200 I feel this is the perfect fit. Or sell the current 3 primes and purchase these combinations which all include a ~50mm lens which is preferred by me over the 35mm Focal Length. Sigma 20(or 24) Art and Sigma 50 Art - Gives me down to 20mm for scenic(Which I suck at but really enjoy) Sigma 24-35 Art and Sigma 50 Art - Only gets me to 24mm but zooming into 35 which I am already used to seems intriguing Tamron 15-30 and Sigma 50 Art - This wide zoom is probably the most intriguing to me but is at 2.8 instead of 1.4 or 2.0 Tamron 24-70 and Sigma 50 Art - Most logical solution IMHO Nikkor 58 1.4 - What I REALLLLLLLY want but just cant seem to pull the trigger. The examples I see just seem like the perfect waist up(adult) full body child lens. Basically I got 3 Lenses collecting dust and have a need for a better wide and normal lens. Only a budget of 1k + whatever I can get for the 3 lenses I do not use(which does anyone know of a good value of?). Thanks for reading and sorry about the rant. [/QUOTE]
