is it as good as the 1.4 85 mm
Eric T.
they both have pros and cons
what are the pros on both
Eric T.
the 24-120 has a wider range
and cons
Eric T.
Nikon 85mm is mostly better though, in terms of f-stop and general glass quality
not by a huge margin though
what is the f-stop
Eric T.
1.4-16
clarity
bokeha dn smoothness
Eric T.
the 85mm doesnt have a bokeh I think
so which ine does?
Eric T.
the 24-120mm
cuz that's what I like most portraits with lots of bokeh
Eric T.
is one of the better features it has
well the Nikon 85mm does have a bokeh actually
but its not one of its advertised features, people buy the 24-120 for the bokeh specifically
does that make sense?
cuz I did ask around and I don't know why they told me that the 1.4 has the best bokeh
Eric T.
I dont think it will be bad by any stretch
very great lens and probably overall better than the 120mm
so do you think I should go with the 1.4 or not?
Eric T.
depends on price I think. if you want to save a little, the kit that comes with the 24-120 will save money
but the 1.4 is a better les
*lens
much better for portrait photograpgy
There is a neat lens comparison here:: http://www.kenrockwell.com/ni...
