Hi Everyone!
I've been shooting professionally for a year as a second shooter at weddings, I also work in a local studio photoshopping.
I'm considering buying a Prime lense for environmental portrait and wedding portrait work. I'm looking at a Nikon 28mm 2.8 or a Nikon 50mm 1.8, I've read alot about the 50 and it seems to be a very sharp lens, I actually bought an old one for $30.00 from my local camera shop that I have to manual focus, manually set ap and shutter. I like it but I think it might be a little long. It's been so long since I have manually focussed anything it's hard to tell if it is nice and sharp at 2.8, or if it was out of focus.
The 28 doesn't get as good reviews and is more expensive.
I'm really looking for something with a good Bokeh. I considered buying a used 80-200 2.8 but it was an old push-pull and I was worried about dust getting in.
Anyone shoot primes who could offer some advice?
