[QUOTE="hark, post: 519101, member: 13196"] These types of decisions are difficult. You need to weigh the pros and cons of both choices. The 85mm doesn't have VR. It's much smaller (and lighter) to pack in your bag making it easy to carry around. The 70-200mm has VR but is bigger and heavier. It will be a little more versatile since it is a zoom. Since both focal lengths are covered by other lenses you already own, it really comes down to which YOU think you will use the most. You mentioned wanting to use the 85mm for family photos. What is the reason for wanting the 70-200mm? Do you use either of your other tele-zooms frequently now? [/QUOTE]
