Hi Stephen, thanks for dropping by. Both lenses have different purpose, I believe you have noticed. If you do a lot of macro photoes, the 60mm is the choice. It can use for macro and general portrait. The 85mm/f1.4 is a very famous and a legend from Nikon, because of its construction, smooth sharpness (not so 'hard' as 60mm) and most important the beauty of boken (the blurred background), if you don't mind the price. It is very good for portrait.

Hi James, I notice you have both 85mm and 60mm Micro lenses. I bought the D100 in Feb and others lenses. Now I like both the lenses that mentioned above. Can you can give me some advise. Thanks
