Hi all,
I'm currently agonizing over the choice between DA17-70 F4 or DA 70 F2.4 and I hope someone here can help with my decision. I currently have DA16-45 F4 and FA 35 F2.0 and now deciding on a portrait lens.
option 1. Get DA17-70, sell my DA16-45 and get FA50 F1.4
option 2. Get DA Ltd. 70 F2.4 and keep my current lens lineup (I know DA70 is great lens but not sure if wanna spend that much for occational portraiture).
I'm leaning towards 17-70 + 50f1.4 but i'd like to see if DA17-70 can deliver "decent" portraits at F4 (for trips where i dont want to change lens). Tips from anyone with experience with 17-70 would be much appreciated. Also please post pictures if you have any, preferably at 70mm F4. Half-body portraits with a few highlights in the background would be great. Many thanks.
