Tom Stanworth said:I use EOS cameras and find teh 28-135 IS USM great. At the longer end you still get good selective focus and the lens performance is superb. The image stabaliser really helps in low light too. I will soon be adding a 70-300 IS too. I have really been impressed by the work of Annabelle Williams (UK based porttrait/wedding photographer) and whe mainly uses the 70-300. Not sure what make your bodies are?

Great to hear from you Tony. Is it sharp as a tack? How well does it work in low light (no flash here!)?TPPhotog said:Nicole I use the Sigma EX 105mm 2.8 and I think it's a little cracker and for me the perfect lens for portraits and the odd (several) street shoots. Tony
Hi Nicole good to hear your after that natural light LOL It's not as razor sharp as a Nikon but close enough for people shooting where for me a lens can be too sharp. The auto-focus works very well in low light on my F100 and it's ergonomic for manual focus if you prefer. I find it's better to set the auto-focus through the center of the lens and then recompose to nail the shot in low light. This only takes a fraction of a second and I can't remember any shots that I've missed with it. You will get a lot for your money and hand on heart I don't think any 3rd paty lens is as good as the real thing.Nicole McGrade said:Great to hear from you Tony. Is it sharp as a tack?

Blighty said:Nicole,
For portraiture, I nearly always use a Nikon 85mm f1.8 lens. I find it incredibly sharp with a pleasing perspective and good bokeh. Some reckon the f1.4 version to be a superior performer, and if cost isn't an option then perhaps this may be your best bet. I have used zooms but nearly always at the shorter end of the scale. For some reason which I am unable explain, I always find myself using telephoto's with colour film. Conversely, I nearly always use wide angles or standards with B&W. Strange huh? Regards, BLIGHTY.
Nicole McGrade said:Just can't afford the Hassy lenses yet, will have to make do with the 80mm planar for now.

In Denmark a used 150 mm for Hassy costs $700-$800 (US$ that is). Is that still too expensive?
Hi Nicole,Nicole Boenig-McGrade said:Thanks Morten! I'm currently tossing up between the one of these:
Nikon 85mm 1.8
Nikon 85mm 2.8
Sigma EX 105mm 2.8
Has anyone used any of these?
