any predictions about the future viability of DX, compared to FX lenses. I consider myself an advanced amateur, will never get beyond that, although my skills might continue to increase. Right...

I am going to China soon for vacation and am thinking about purchasing and bringing a fish eye lens. Do you think a fish eye lens would be a good lens to use in China? If so, what specific...

i have the 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D and I really like the lens. It has a little bit of CA, but thats only when I shoot against my kid's B&W soccer uniform. The lens is a joy to use. Depending on what...

agreed it isnt really good for soccer--but what about the other issues discussed?

most likely this is from user error, but this is from criticism of the 85 f/1.8G of my kid playing soccer. Note that this is the first time I shot using a prime of my kid playing soccer--usually...

well, what about the 85 f/1.4D--doesnt that one have pretty slow AF as well?

after a few minutes of preliminary playing around with the 85 f/1.8G and comparing it with my 80-200 AF-D, I am sold on the 85mm. I like the closer focusing than the 80-200, although for the...

from the test shown above, it looks like the f/1.4G is better than the f/1.8G, but not by that much. As said before, I was struggling b/t the 1.8G and the 1.4D, but I think the f/1.8G will serve...

after much (and probably too much) deliberations, I ordered the 85 f/1.8G from 17th photo. They had it in stock, and given the difficulty to find it, I figured this was a sign i needed it. I...

OK...well the general consensus I think is the f/1.8 G is better than the f/1.4D. I don't really care too much about corner to corner sharpness, and I get why the f/1.4D gives you that "pop", but...

I originally thought my next lens (for street photography and portraits and perhaps some sports photography of my kid playing soccer) would be the 85 f/1.4D used on my D7000. However, photozone...

There are some recent posts concerning the 85mm and the 70(80) to 200mm lenses and what is best. From a bokeh point of view, how much better is the 85 f/1.4 AF-D than the 80-200 AF-D? I have a...

OK, this my scenrio. I have a D7000. I would like to have a good lens for portraits and general use. I have a 5 year old son and like to do int'l traveling, so I like to get good people...
