yeah having those 3 would be a pretty good low budget setup. 85mm for portraits, 50mm for everything else, 70-300 for your telephoto.

and then the kit lens just because i dont wanna bother trying to get rid of that lol

ive also heard the 85mm is a good sports lens, is this true?

watching a review of it and it seems to be very sharp from 1.8 all the way to 16, which looks nice

it doesn't really have the reach to be a sport lens. the 85mm 1.8 is typically used as a portrait lens.

Not a fan of the 70-300 VR. I had one. It's pretty old. If you shoot it on an 8MP camera or on a 24MP camera, you will see next to zero difference in sharpness or croppability. The lens can't resolve enough detail on modern sensors.

Most consumer grade long lenses can't really render a ton of detail. I own the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, it's better but it's also not the sharpest thing in the world.

Take a look at the Nikon 200-500 if you really want something cool.

The 85mm 1.8G isn't a sports lens really. It's a portrait lens.

what? the 70-300s quality is fantastic for the $3-400 price tag. sure, its not comparable in quality to the 500 and 600mm super tele's, but then, neither is the price. if he's looking to get the 85mm 1.8 as well, the 70-300 is perfectly fine.

200-500 is out of my budget :(

How do y'all feel about the tamron/sigma 17-50?

I love doing landscape style stuff so I'm assuming I should be looking at wide angle lenses?
