$2500 Budget. Recommendations?

[jmandell]

I am going to recommend the nikon d700($1400-1800) with an 85mm f1.4 af-d ($800-1000). You could also pick up a 50mm 1.4 af-d ($150-250) and still be close to budget. The d700 is an amazing camera and the 85 1.4 is the best lens I have ever handled.
All of these are with the d700 and 85 1.4
