Need lens recommendation

I did exactly A

sold my 70-200, got the 85 1.4 and 70-300

regrets?

the 70-300 is no 70-200 , thats for sure

 

I'd go with A. Or look for a used 80-200 AF-S (about $900) instead of the 70-300.

 

70-200 is a different class to the 70-300

The 70-300 is a great lens but far from the quality of the 70-200. Which is reflected in the price.

To answer this question, would you sell your 24-70 2.8 and buy the 18-70 3.5-4.5?

I wouldn't say I miss it exactly, it is a big lens to casually walk around with

the 70-300 strengh is its smaller size and much smaller price tag, but do not expect the same results as the 70-200

I am hoping the 85 1.4 gets more use in the future as I move more towards portrait/ people shots

 

B. Keep that 70-200, and the 85 1.8 is a fine photo maker. Not as robust made as the 1.4, no A-M switch and a tad slower, but still a very fine lens.

 

I think the question should be is the 85 1.4 that much better than the 85 1.8 that warrants replacing your 70-200 for a 70-300?

I have never used the 85 1.4. Some of the pictures posted by owners of this lens are simply stunning. I just picked up a 85 f/1.8 and its a superb lens, especially considering the price.
