help with lenses for d80

[bigbird17]

hi people,

i need some help and not sure if it's the right place to post this.

i am using a D80 but not sure if i should use the tamron 1750, 50/1.8, 85/1.8 setup or tokina 1224, 50/1.8 , 85/1.8 for preweddings

currently using tamron 2875 and 50mm

find myself shooting alot in 35-75 range. but yet wanna do wide at times. tokina 1224 can use for portraits?

thanks for the help in advance!!!

I like the Tamron 17-50mm, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 Setup.
Because 12-24mm may be too wide and usually 17-50mm covers a good range for normal shoot with D80.

yup, however, i was wondering will the 1750with motor focus slow on the d80? anyone any experience? cus i heard ad read it focus slower than the nikon kit lens thus seeking feebback

no problems on my set

just how fast do you want to focus?
you can always buy the AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED

hmm.. fast enough to do street normal actions. because i heard 1750 focusing cant even focus fast enough to capture moving people.

that 1755 is a dream now my friend but would you recommend one with motor or without on a d80?

the one without the motor. it focuses that little bit faster, and its once less component to spoil.

noted. optically they are both the same?

i would think they are, but i haven't really been looking too carefully. i think dpreview might have a comparison? not sure never checked haha
