Re: Easy Answer - 50-140

Sorry that I’ve not waded through this entire thread, but owning both the 56 and the 90 let me offer this to the OP.  Bot are outstanding.  Given the focus compression of the longer 90, the min DOF becomes roughly equivalent for a “head and shoulders” framing.

Ultimatley if you need to choose one over the other, I think the main factor is your preferred or needed subjec to camera working distance.  With the 90, it’s pretty far for any given equal framing, compared to the 56.  If that’s not an issue, the 90 is a GREAT choice given sharpness and speed / accuracy of AF being a tad better than the 56.
