True true. Will see if I can work extra somewhere.

Been thinking about it, but I never seem to take my 50mm out of my bag as it is. You ever play with the 50 these days?

Never had one, but the 85 is just sweet, nothing touches it when it comes to portraits, borrowed the 1.4 this summer and it was so much fun, photos just feel so "pro" out of the box. Not much PP needed

totally agree...a 1.4 version of either of those lenses is on the wish list for now

Dude Stockholms mad nice. I didn't know that. It's one of the few places I haven't been in Europe. I definitely need to check it out soon.

You should! I want to see more pics of "tight pants lady" as I like to call her. That Maser GranTurismo pic was awesome. It's such a gorgeous car though, so it's hard to get it wrong. I haven't shot with an 85mil yet but I LOVE my fitty 1.4.

Good to see some new stuff from you. The D80 + that lens must be one hell of a combo.

Ok question: I currently have a 50mm 1.8 on order for the Rebel (for like two frickin' months already ), should I just man up and get either the 85mm or 1.4 50mm?

Edit: Checked the website of my supplier the 1.4 50mm is about the same price as the 1.8 85mm (think $550)...
