hi, anyone here has any experience using the above stated lenses for weddings? was thinking of these 2 lenses on my 2nd camera which is a dx camera.. any recommendations??
Do you have experience of using the DC lens? if only as a portrait lens certainly is a good choice,
but in other areas like focus speed colour and detail is absolutely not as good as micro 105 mm lens,
the magnification is also different.
Focus speed of micro 105 faster than 105DC?
Yes, 105 DC f2 is AF lens and 105 micro f2.8 is AF-S lens, technology difference of 13 years.

im also considering the 105 DC, but the alternative im comparing to is the 135 DC. im leaning toward the 105 cos of the perspective i ve seen from zeiss 100 f2 shots. i ve been using the 135 f2 AIS, but it seems like an odd focal length to shoot - its really nice when i get it right, but i can't 'see' well using that perspective... any comments?
It really depends bro. If you already have an 85 the 105 will be very close actually. If you don't own an 85mm, the 105 will fit nicely. I have the 105/2.5 and really seldom find myself using it. I would reach for the 85 a lot more.
actually i wld like to use the 105 on my 2nd body for close ups without having to appear in front of my subjects during weddings.. cos everytime i try to shoot some candids with my 35 or 24-70, my subjects will start to pose -.- kills off the moment instantly.. hence the question regardin the 105..

budget wise, 105 is more affordable.. and on a dx its 160 right??
