Hey Everyone,
I've been really trying to decide on a lens that has some reach (on my D7000). The tele-zooms just don't seem in the budget right now. I've settled in on the 85-105mm range. I made a quick decision to purchase a Nikon 85mm 3.5 DX Macro Lens. I made the decision based on the macro ability of the lens, in addition to being able to use the lens for portraits and general use.
Now I'm having a little buyers remorse and really thinking that longer term maybe I should have gone with the Nikon 85mm 1.8. My budget won't allow for the 1.4.
Anybody have any thoughts? I do like macro photography, but I don't know that I'll be doing close up shots all the time. I would prefer something more suited to portrait and general use.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks all!
Mike
