Greetings all. I'm a recent Nikon convert after 10 years with Canon. I currently have the d750 and am really happy. I would love to see some portraits from the three lenses in the title. Post them below and state which lens you used!

Thanks!

Welcome to the dark side

Here are some shots with a.o.the 1/4/85mm AF D

http://www.pbase.com/paul_k/85_vs_70200_vs_200

Own the 2/135DC (not the 2/105DC though) but haven't used it in earnest for portraits yet

Did use it for shooting a runway show at f2.5 to test the IQ and bokeh compared to the 2/200VR, as well as the focusing speed (common 'wisdom' on the internet claims that due to the srew AF it's not up to shooting fast focusing subjects, especially under bad light).
Guess this proves them wrong) http://www.pbase.com/paul_k/201411122_5_hrs_fame

Welcome to Nikon ! Update your profile then we all know what gear you're using and it makes it easier to comment / advise

There have been a few recent threads on the 135/105 :

All from the Nikkor 85 1.4D ! All pics shot in Guam, and shot wide open! I also have videos of these shots just BTS, but in the description it'll show what lenses I used, https://www.youtube.com/user/jqberry7/videos

i'm about ready to click that Buy button.. But i have heard a lot of rumers on an upcomming sigma 135mm ART... I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO...

I'm in love with the 135mm range and the skin tones that the f2 dc gives..
