I use 70200 for portrait. Used to own 85/1.8 (2 of it) but sold off due to lousiness of the lens.

Yes. 50mm quite tight. 35 is good. Get the 1.4G if you can afford. It's superb !

I see. Me too, will be using the two touch for potraits. How much is the f/1.4G? I think I can afford the f/2 only bro sweat.gif

Hahaha, 85 f/1.8!! I told someone last time the same but he say it's good, forgot who already  doh.gif rclxub.gif

85 f1.8 = one of the worst lens I have used. Sorry but this is my opinion ohmy.gif

why is 85mm 1.8 being the worst??

For me lor. Everyone has their one opinion right? It's only sharp at f/2.8. I haven't tried many other lenses tho smile.gif

QUOTE(KTCY @ Mar 15 2011, 03:36 PM)
50/1.4G - 1.8k
85/1.4G - 4.6k
35/1.4G - 4.85k
24/1.4G - 6.5k

Wow 35 more expensive than the 85, thought it's cheaper sweat.gif

Added on March 15, 2011, 5:53 pmI just heard Canon 70-200 f/2.8L USM has dropped price?
*
Yeah, from RM10,199 RRP to RM 8,388.00. Street price should be nearly the same as Nikkor's VRII.

if you import raw files into lightroom, by default there will be some preset settings applied, which includes a little bit of sharpening. smile.gif

Well best all rounder that is.

Yeah agree. But I'm getting the 11-16 to pair with 80-200. 17-55/24-70 is like a normal range, even compact cameras can achieve it tongue.gif

The label
What speed do you guys prefer as a minimum for hand held?
Does ISO effect the sharpness?

Here's another shot @ 1/200 f/2.8 does this qualify in the acceptable region in terms of sharpness?

Minimum speed, depends on the lens and situation. You can follow the tumb rule. If you're at 50mm, then minimum is 1/50. For DX, if at 50mm, then it's 1/80. Right guys? I'm a noob too blush.gif

Now for the picture, for me, I'd say yes. Spot-on focusing too smile.gif

Since you have the 85mm 1.4G, do you miss the 70-200 while it's gone? tongue.gif

i choose 1st one if i were u.
1685 can cover most of the event so i thnks its quite good ed. all rounder.

80200 is useful for candid and outdoor. superb!

35? i dnt know or it just me that will leave 35mm and taking SP90. it done brilliant job for portraiture aka outdoor. shoot wide with 1685 is wide enuff for me.

2nd choice will make u loose all rounder lens. remimder that not all wedding held at big hall or big big house. imagine u shoot at flat / apartment. u want keep on changing 116 and 35? u will lose ur time smile.gif
*
I see, thanks for the reply bro. I have two questions, how's the sharpness of the 16-85 compared to the tokina 11-16? And is 16mm on DX wide enough for most weddings? hmm.gif
