I currently have a 28-70 and am thinking of getting an 85 1.4. However, an alternative could be a 28-80. I have never tried either the 85 or 28-80. I know the 85 is an exceptional lense.
I am not over impressed with the 28-70, particularly at 28, it has very noticable barreling. I recently read a review of the 28-80 on photogaphyreview.com which stated it wasn`t much better than the 28-70, is this true?
I shoot almost exclusively travel photography. I want the extra length for better portrait shots. I like the idea of the 85 1.4 because it is fast and I never use a flash, but it would be an extra lense to carry with me.
To give you a complete picture, I primarily use an Aria with an RTS II as backup. Lenses: 28-70 (used most), 50 f1.4, 21 f2.8, 80-200 f4 and I have just ordered a 300 f4 for a big wildlife project I will be undertaking in the summer (the Pantanal, Brazil, for upto 2 months).
ANy thought, experiences appreciated.
