1) on a FX body - how would the 24-70/2.8 (or 28-70/2.8 as a slightly cheaper alternative) perform as a replacement for the Nikon 85/1.4 (mainly for use as a portrait lens)?
2) if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose, keeping in mind that I do value the high-ISO performance of the D700?
i) D300 + 24-70/2.8
ii) D700 + Tammy 28-75
Thanks again.
1. The 28-70 is so good that I never considered buying a 24-70.
Having said that I would probably get the 24-70 instead if something happened to the 28-70 just to get those 4mm.
As for the 85 f/1.4, I will dust it off and try it today.
Since getting one of the first D3 bodies I have used nothing but zooms.
14-24, 28-70, 70-200, 80-400 (my most used lense), 200-400, and 300-800.
2. ii in a heartbeat.
The Tamron is so cheap that it does not matter if the used price goes down.
I have used a D300 for several weeks and did not like it.
I traded it in on a second D3.
