Wait, what???
How many choices do you need?
There's the FA77 of course, and some would look no further. The Sigma 85 is also fine. The 70-200 is the go-to portrait lens for many, independent of the system they use. The 24-70 is also useful, as is the DFA 50, the FA43 if you're willing to get closer to your subject, any of the 50s, the DA*55, the DA*70, the 60-250 which can be very good studio lens (and can be modified for full frame), the older FA*85 if you can find it, the DFA100 macro, and I'm probably forgetting quite a few.
Originally posted by Leumas I need to add a FF one to my kit at some point and it looks like the older Sigma, and the legendary 77 are pretty much my only choice.
With the 77 you don't really need other choices, honestly.
