About expensive lenses
"M-M" wrote in message
... A Nikon 85mm 1.8 is $400.; an 85mm 1.4 is $1100. Is the extra stop really worth all that extra expense? Why not just up the ISO to compensate for those shots that really need the speed? Am I missing something? It's not an either-or situation. The 1.4 will have a slight edge over the 1.8, no matter what the situation. You can bump the ISO, slow down the shutter, or whatever, and the 1.4 will still be faster than the 1.8. So there will be a certain number of images that would not be as good with the slightly slower lens. -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/
