^It would be an investment. A bit for now, but a lot for future. It would let me do a little more portrait stuff right now. The 50mm is nice, but when I did some shooting for a friend, a bit of range would have been handy. I've thought about the 85mm, but if I'm going to go to an FX body at some point, the 24-70 would be a great lens to have along with the 12-24 I've already got.
I've thought about the much cheaper 18-200? But it's not quite as fast. 3.5-4.6 I think. Anyone think that's a good option? It's about half the cost.
I shoot everything right now with just a 50mm and a 12-24mm right now. When friends want me to take photos for them, it's a tad restricting.
