<p>85mm f1.8d is a great lens.</p>

<p>I have that, plus the 85mm f1.4d and the sigma hsm 50mm f1.4. </p>

<p>If I had the 18-70, and I think that is a VR lens, it's a toss up, the 85mm 1.8d or the 50mm 1.4d.<br>

If the choice included a 50mm 1.4G AF-s, I would probably take that.</p>

<p>I have written a review of the 85mm 1.8D and some of the other possible choices here: http://glamourphotography.co/?p=4841<br>

My use is primarily glamour portraiture.<br>

The go to lenses I use tend to be the 17-55 2.8, the sigma 50 hsm 1.4 and the 70-200 vr2 2.8... I shoot a Nikon D7000, which is similar format to the D70. Used to have the D70, about when this question was asked.<br>

If I didn't have the pro glass, and only had the 18-70, I think I might go a 50mm 1.4, as it is easier to hand hold than the 85, particularly on a crop camera. And, the 50mm will be the sharpest lens in your bag for a valuable focal length in crop sensor portraiture, ie 50mm.... </p>

<p>I just got my cyber commander a couple weeks back and started using it recently.<br>

So far, I am mostly really pleased with it, tho it was not all intuitive to set up.<br>

Lucky for me the guys at Buff were really helpful.<br>

<a href="http://glamourphotography.co/gear/paul-c-buff-cyber-commander-cybersync-initial-set-up/">Cyber Commander Initial Setup</a> is a bit of a trick, until you get the hang of it. <br>

Still, so far I am happy with my purchase of the Cyber Commander and 4 CyberSyncs, the plug in models.<br>

Tho I am still learning to use them. They are not plug and shoot. While the features seem awesome. They take some bit of learning.</p>
