Owen, If you really like the 85/1.8, get the D version. The 105 and 135 will cost you some light and my not give you what you wanted in the angle of view. Just my opinion.

Evans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] [v04.n294/2] Message: 2 Hello to one and all; I am in a bit of a quandary. I have an 85/1.8AF which I like very much. I was thinking of upgrading to the D version for the distance info on my F5/SB-26 combination such that I could get the full benefits of 3D Multi Sensor Balanced Fill Flash. This being said, would the 105 or 135 DC lenses be a better upgrade for portraiture. I'm not sure how much usage the Defocus Control would get. These are expensive, but are they worth it? My portraits are of family and friends. I don't intend to use any of these commercially. Thanks in advance for any help. Owen
