<p>thanks all. I think probably highest change i will get a used tele-zoom 80-200mm. But before that, I would like to have the comment of 105mm DC, as this lens will probably suit for my travel usage and somehow can cover for wedding tele, i think.<br> ok, I narrow down the option of the list to 2 lenses:<br> - af-d 80-200mm [70-200mm vr1 may not take into count at the moment as i think vr doesn't helps much for fast moving object which i usually push my shutter to 1/100 or above]<br> - af-d 105mm DC [never have chance to try this lens, and don't have any friends own this type of DC lens, so, i hope i can get a great feedback of the real feeling and review from the lens owner]<br> Anyhow, I still have roughly 3 months to go and decide what to get. </p>

<p>Appreciate all invaluable input and giving a very good picture as well as good analyze. <br> I'm not a full time wedding photographer but as a freelancer, and of course get paid. <br> At the moment, I think I wish to get a tele lens instead of a backup camera. </p> <blockquote> <p>Assuming the wedding business is paid, I'd say you owe your paying customers to ensure you have the right tools for the job.</p> </blockquote> <p>Yes, I totally agreed with the above statement, thanks all! I get a stunned and have a better picture now what I should put into consideration. <br> Talk about renting a lens, unfortunately, this service is not available in my lovely country Malaysia...so, forget about it...even warranty in Malaysia only given 1 year by Nikon...well...life isn't fair at all the time, and I know it well~<br> Also, I can only afford the budget for the lenses mentioned above or equivalent price of other lenses which you may recommend. I just not really into 3rd party lens and stick to nikkor all I can...<br> 70-200 f2.8 vr1 or vr2 are way out of my budget, I may consider in next upgrade but not now definitely. </p>

<p>I am getting closer to my next lens purchase in coming Sept, I want to pick up a tele lens which currently lack of for wedding. <br> For wedding:D700 + AFS 24-70mm f2.8 + 50mm f1.8D<br> For travelling:D700 + AFS 16-35mm f4 + 50mm f1.8D + 70-210mm f4-5.6D [planning to sell it off]<br> Which you can see, for wedding purpose, my max focal is 70mm [i mean for indoor and low light circumstances]. Hence I would lie to get a USED lens mentioned above [85mm f1.4D or 85mm f1.8G or 105mm DC or 105mm VR or 80-200mm f2.8D]<br> My intention is to buy a tele lens which I can use for both occasions, hopefully. I have tried 80-200mm two-touch version, and its gave me a great outcome, but not try any for the rest. So now I am not sure which 1 should get and need some input for those lens owners. <br> Thanks. </p>
