now if i had the 85 1.2 that'd be a bit of a different story
Just watched a video on some 1.4 and 1.2 lenses those look insane.
That's what was making it tough for me. Looking at both statistics on paper it's was a close call, and even thought they are so similar since no-one has been able to test the comparison, it's hard to see how much alike they truly are.
I've never shot with FX before so I've never seen 1st hand how much it changes the way your images come out.

By taking pictures over and over. My style is primary with natural portraits (both at macro and wide). Practice makes perfect

vignetting in real world usage of 1.8 isnt that bad man. also, if its that big of an issue, you can correct it in light room with a click of a checkbox
all are shot on either 85mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.8
Your portrait work is getting stronger bro, keep at it, I'm gonna say this as advice and I know you didn't ask for the criticism, but lose the watermark...lol using watermarks has become wild dated
I cringe every time I see photographers watermarking their stuff...just my 2 cents

Don't think i'm ready for a DSLR camera... BUT.... What would a good camera to learn with be? I know a lot of you have started and have had different opinions with brands/cameras.
and Point and shoot wise i'm looking at a Sony RX100m2. Has anyone had any experience with this camera?

I prefer full frame, but having said that, I think it would be pretty damn difficult to tell what kind of pictures have been shot on which type of camera. Most important thing about photography is the photographer. Don't get caught up in pixel peeping and worrying about the tech specs of the cameras. You'll know for sure when the camera can no longer keep up with whatever type of photography you get into.

Better camera to start and learn with Canon T5 or Nikon D3300? Please help. Don't have much experience with any type of shooting
- 8,888

Don't overthink it. Both are fine cameras to start off with.
As said in here before, if you have a friend that shoots either Canon or Nikon you may want go with the same brand so you can borrow lenses.

Thank you. I was being lazy and didn't want to go through pages. I am really overthinking it...

If you want a rebel get the "i" version of the camera.
A used T4i is a good option. It'll run you maybe $300-$350 for the body only, then pick up a 50mm 1.8 for ~$100 or a 24mm 2.8 for a little more.

I just got asked to do a City Hall wedding this Wednesday. Looks like I am going to rent the 70-200mm to make my life easy. I am actually sort of excited just cause I never do this kind of shooting.

Fong - 70-200 is needed but most of my shots were done with a 24-70 & a 50. Congrats and good luck!

I currently develop and print my roll of films. Are you developing 35mm or medium format? IMO steel tanks never worked out for me, the plastic ones such as Pattersons are way easier to use.
I need to scan and present my film stuff, got hundreds of photos not shown yet but I develop using HC-110. For 35mm & medium format I go with Kodak Tri-X 400 for both. I like how the blacks are more contrast. I use this site for all my development times. Whatever developer you use, it helps out alot. http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php

Oh wow didn't know you shoot film. I shoot 35mm Ilford hp5, but I plan to get medium format in the future. I don't know anything about the different film chemicals. We just use d76 in class. I guess I'll have to look into the different ones. I have used that chart. I use it when I push film to get the times. Do you use a changing bag? Also where do you hang your negatives to dry?
