Default Decisions, Decisions..if you were me UPDATE
Well, I went and did it. this morning I ordered the Nikon 35mm, F/1.8 and the Nikon 85mm, F/1.8...and if the Fedex truck can get up my driveway I'll see them on Monday. For the money at roughly 1/3 - 1/2 the cost of some of the other options, I don't think we'll go too wrong in having these two lenses in our bag. I want to thank everyone again for all their inputs, ideas, and advice on the previous thread.

Vinnie

Congrats on the new toys, Vinnie! I think you'll love the 35mm for studio and the 85mm for outdoor stuff. I'm jealous, I want both for Canon!

I think I will also..but I did put myself through quite an exercise (the 24-70, F/2.8 is still my dream, all purpose lens...maybe sometime in the future, but in the mean time we'll enjoy using these)

Ohhh I have "the list" as well. I think the 35f2.0 maybe next because its a lot less than the 17-35f2.8 or the 24-70f2.8.
If you're anything like me you'll be hitting the fed-ex site tracking the package across the country... "Out for Delivery" is always a grin-maker
