At one point months ago the Canon 135 f2 lens could have almost single-handedly drawn me to Canon, but now I realize it's too long for me--even for wedding photography. I guess I'll have to shoot in some very large wedding venues and see if I change my mind. I highly doubt I'll ever buy a 70-200mm lens since it's so big and bulky. Watching Tony Northrup's video on Canon vs. Nikon recently made me realize Nikon's 70-200mm actually is only 135 or so mm on the long end......
-If you want something fast in the 100mm+ range and think 135mm is too long, I'd suggest you have a look at the Nikkor 105mm f/2 DC - the AF leaves a bit to be desired speed-wise, but the focal length is ideal for portraits IMHO, it is fast, with wonderful bokeh and, as an added bonus, it is incredibly sharp and for all intents and purposes distortion-free.
My only minor gripe with it is that it takes 72mm filters, and if you use a step-up ring to 77mm, it interferes with the built-in hood.
Yes, that's the one I should have gotten, but I do have the 105mm 2.8 VR macro lens. It is super sharp and the bokeh is not bad. It survived a fall into a freshwater stream (just dried it in rice for 2 weeks). I don't use it as much as my 85mm, but it does have better compression of the background so I like to use it.
Almost 2 years ago now I sold all my humble audiophile gear and bought myself a full frame D600-- check out my website which I just completely remade www.justinleewedding.com I really have the D600 to thank, but I did waste incredible amount of time fixing skin tones and correcting white balance. I got better at it near the end I guess..
First few shots of having my D750 since last week.
Below are some of my last shots with the D600 which I was very happy with, but overall I disliked skin tones and auto WB inconsistencies with the D600. The AF was lacking a little bit to keep up with my events sometimes as well. I have 0 complaints with the D750 so far.
