So I am upgrading to FF soon so my current DX lenses (18-135mm + 35mm 1.8) won't work anymore. I can really only afford one lens off the bat and I have no idea what I want to do. I shoot portraits primarily but also like to take the camera with me on travel. I'm torn between 3 lenses. If you had to choose, what would be your go-to lens if you could only have one? Thanks in advance
24-70mm f/2.8 (nikon or tamron g2)- I think this would be a great all around lens that can handle both my travel stuff and portraits but I am being told that 70mm isn't long enough for portraits. Which confuses me because so many people recommend the 50 which even on a cropped sensor is 75mm.
85mm f/1.4- Have heard nothing but good things about this for portrait work but might be only good for portrait work and not much else?
135mm f/1.8 (sigma art)- same as the 85mm
