Wow you don’t make it easy ;)

Seems like you already tried most options, the only thing I could suggest which fits in your budget is a Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM II macro which you can get 2nd hand for around 400 euro but then it does not fit into your max aperture requirements, is only one lens and does not fit into the smaller focus you want.

As for the 50mm f1.4 you tried, I was reading a review which said the 1.8g is much sharper and cheaper http://mansurovs.com/nikon-50mm-f1-8g-review

Also soon the 85mm 1.8g will be available also so maybe that beats the 85mm 1.4 http://mansurovs.com/nikon-85mm-f1-8g-announcement#more-25556

It is not a very good shot but it was my first try at off flash in day light after watching a clip of Zack Arias.

Hi Shutterbug,

I’m staying at then jury’s at Croke Park this week, I expect I’ll be back in a few weeks again but staying at The Clontarf.

Regards,

Gary

Edit: I’m working during the day so would be looking for well lit places in the evening

I forgot to mention, I have the lens with me in Dublin, I’ll only post the empty box along with the carry case when I’m back in The Netherlands.

Regards,

Gary
