TECH SUPPORT Decisions Decisions Q. I am using a Sony Alpha 55 (APS-C), would I be better off buying an 85mm that scales up to 128mm, or a 50mm that scales up to 75mm? And should I go with the Sony 85mm f/2.8, which is considerably less expensive than the equivalent f/1.4 lens? A. It depends on how you’ll use the lens. If your main goal is people pictures (posed or candid), a 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 would be a good portrait lens. But if you need more reach, as for arena sports, the 85mm is better. Since the point of a high-speed lens is—hello!—high speed, we’d want the f/1.4 for background defocus. You can always stop it down for more depth of field. Do you have Tech Support Question?
