Lens Upgrade!

I've decided that I really like people photography and its the style I want to focus and grow on, and with that I decided to jump ship on a lens that a new friend is selling. This lens is the Nikkor 85mm f1.8D. There are a lot of great reviews on this lens, and I'm looking forward to using it! Because of this upgrade, I decided to sell my Nikkor 50mm f1.8D simply because I rarely use it, and its not enough reach for concert shots (when I do go). I might regret selling my 50mm but I am short on money and needed to sell this just to afford the 85mm.

Do you think I made the right choice? Comment :)

If you think its worth it, then go for it and make good use of your new lense! Good luck!

Hey sakaigirl, I just picked it up today. I'm having so much fun with it! Very sharp :).

I'm going to be doing portraits of my dragonboat team tomorrow with it. :) Look forward to those pictures.

Nice lens! I've used one and it is one of my favorites. If I was on a 1.5x crop camera body I wouldn't sell the 50mm F1.8 though. It's more usable for indoor shots than the 85mm. Although both are not the most ideal indoor lens.
