As above, I'm looking for prime lenses to replace my 24-120mm F4 G which I currently have. The current body that I have is a D600.
I shoot mainly portraiture with occasional street shots, architecture and scenery.
From what I have seen from the web and forums, I have mainly narrowed down my choices to the following few lenses:
1) Nikkor 50mm f1.8 G
2) Nikkor 85mm f1.8 G
3) Nikkor 28mm f1.8 G
The reason for those 3 are because I want to have the same coverage as the 24-120 that I'm letting go. Basically my constraints is that I'm trying not to spend on buying these lenses (i.e. sell off my 24-120 and use that money to buy the primes).
What I'm looking for is advice from all you seniors out there for alternatives to the 3 lenses mentioned above, be it in terms of better image quality or cheaper cost. Or, if you have used those lenses before, I would like to know your experiences with them. I don't really know about these lenses cos I recently jumped ship from Canon to Nikon just a couple of months ago.
Take note that I may not be getting 3 lenses (maybe 2 out of 3) since I also have a 16-35mm f4 G with me. The reason for my switching is because I cannot stand f4 being my widest aperture. ;p
Thanks in advance everyone! :bsmilie:
