What are you going to use it for ?
is there justification (in your mind) for an 85/1.4g
Or are you just going to buy one,
realize you don't need it
and sell it at a ridiculous low price to me (virtually giving it away) afterwards ?
So essentially you're trying to figure out if buying the lens would affect your ability to pay for your wedding for September 2016 ?
It all depends upon your cash flow and how it can positively affect your cash flow.
I don't do weddings (only a few as 2nd) but have a 85/1.4 and I love using it. haven't really used it much at 1.4 but just using it as a comparison on ring shots you can only do if you have it available.
LOLNot at all. I'll make my fiancee pay for that.![]()
Don't worry about the wedding, start saving to pay for the divorce! As for the lens, I still use the 'D' version, but I do love my 85 1.4! It's probably just about my most used lens. If you don't have one, well... you really do need one.
'D' series are AF all bodies with an in-body focus motor (DX, DX00, and D7XXX)Don't worry about the wedding, start saving to pay for the divorce!

She's making more than me now, but it's only temporary. Once I have those pieces of paper saying I know stuff, I'll be making a lot more than her.
The D is manual focus only?
I bet a lot of wedding photographers don't even have f/1.8 or f/2 lenses.But how can I be any type of respectable wedding photographer if I don't have a f/1.4?!

save over $1100 (~%300) and get 95% the lens with the 1.8g
