samyang 85mm nikon
I am trying to decide between the Samyang 8mm fisheye and the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 AF?
What lense should I buy for my Nikon. I like the effect of fisheye photos but I also want the fast 85mm for low light shots. What should I choose?
Theres no doubt that the 85mm f/1.8 would suit my photography a lot more but I just love the effect you get from the fisheye.
I have an 18-105mm, 50mm f/1.8, Tok 11-16mm, Sigma 70-300mm.
If I had an 11-16mm, I would definitely buy the 85mm. I really just think the amount of use you’ll get out of it will be far far greater than the fisheye. I love the fisheye effect too, but I make my money shooting portraits. When I make enough to fill my bag with the lenses I need, then I’ll get the lenses I don’t need.
For you, its really a toss up. You have decent lenses for shooting portraits, and the 11-16mm is a nice landscape lens. I would lean more towards the 85mm because its fast and more versatile. You do have the 50mm f/1.8, which I also have, but I don’t love it especially wide open.
