Snoweagle said:The 85mm f/1.2L is an overkill ($3K+) so the 85mm f/1.8 ($600+) is gd enough.
yeokimsong said:sorry for the very late reply. Thanks so much for your valuable feedback. i forgot to add, i am using a film SLR... is 50mm, or 85 mm better?
I beg your pardon, would you please elaborate why the 85..f1.2L is an overkill?Snoweagle said:The 85mm f/1.2L is an overkill ($3K+) so the 85mm f/1.8 ($600+) is gd enough.

Obviously you dont know the word BOKEH.Snoweagle said:As said earlier on. It's not worth paying over 3K for such a lens.

Pls lah...extra two stops of light?again..you really do not know what is the beauty of BOKEH.Snoweagle said:Haha...pls lah, if u've so much money of cos u'll get the 1.2L. The 1.8 one's bokeh is already very gd. U're just paying more for the extra 2 stops of light, L quality and built, unless u're going professional.
obviously u dont know of the word 'MONEY'.. u want more bokeh.. get a 135mm f/2 and u get better bokeh at a higher stop.. just step back more.. i compared that a nikkor 135mm f/2 can produce as good or better bokeh then a nikon 85mm f/1.4..JediForce4ever said:Pls lah...extra two stops of light?again..you really do not know what is the beauty of BOKEH.
Since you not goin pro, why dont u recommend the 75-300 instead?good enough liao mah...and its covers 85mm also...
