Hi,
I am completely new to SLR/DSLR world and have no experience at all in real photography. I just had baby and, like few of the people do, would like to make some good pictures of my baby. So bought a Nikon D7000 and have been reading lot of books on of exposure, aperture, shutter, lighting, portrait, etc. Also trying to apply what I read. More often than not it doesn't work but I am learning.
However, I have a basic question. Lot of books/articles that I have read talks about a single focal length lens of 50mm or 85mm for portrait or closeup photography. I have a 70-300mm lens with AF-S, VR. Would highly appreciate if somebody can help me understand how is a single focal length 85mm lens different than a 70-300mm lens that is set at 85mm. Will there be a difference when making photographs with both set at 85mm?
Thanks much for your kind help.
