I don't have the nikon 50 1.4, I thought it would be sharp at f/2.

In a wedding & another event, I used a D90 with Nikon AFD 80200 f/2.8 two touch version & not the 2 previous models of the push pull version. It is sharp and built like a tank.. and it weighs like a tank too... I believe it is more durable & could withstand more hard knocks than newer lenses with SWM motor and VR.

Speed wise, newer lenses like 70200 VR & VR2 and the Sigma 70200 HSM focuses & locks focus faster. I tried an older version of Sigma 70200 HSM and it focuses really fast, & the latest version with OS would be much better I guess. Suitable for events, weddings & fast action stuffs. BUT KEEP IN MIND that the Tamron 70200 comes with a slow motor (micromotor) and focuses really slow. The Nikon 80200 is faster imo.

The older 80200 is damn nice but it is slower (don't know how much slower it is) compared to lenses with SWM/HSM motor like the 70200s. For portraits, outdoors the 80200 performs fast enough.

- If you really need the best with VR - Nikon 70200VRii or Nikon 70200VRi

- Still want fast focus with lower budget - Sigma 70200 (there's 2 current models with & without OS (VR equivalent) and if you want sigma, make sure you check the focusing because some tend to back/front focus)

- Don't really shoot fast moving objects but want tank like build quality & durability - Nikon AFD 80200 (two touch version) -NIKON-

wedding shots ppl want to see their faces la.
not fancy low light scenery.

and thats why some ppl drag assistants who carry tripods

good for you..
practice make perfect...
hehehe...

mean 116 is not good?
i want to funding for wide lens...
need some reversion about the lens first...

Anyone know this? Sharpness of the 80-200 two touch compare to 70-200 VR?

Let's say you guys have RM3k budget, would you get the 80-200 two touch or third party 70-200?

i personally find third party 70-200 lens are quite ok. i used to have a sigma.

You wan 50G poison? I got

50mm 1.4G  

My friend whose a 5dmk2 user tells me otherwise. He usually take a few shots because to compensate for any miss focus.

mind to recommend me some good bag

Currently in mind is lowepro fastpack , flipside and crumpler 6 millionz

I wan the bag can put charger , alot personal things ...4 lenses 2 bodies =D ....

That's really bad for a DLSR that expensive. Guess canon isn't delighting you always..

For that, there's always Nikon...
