I start this thread in Nikon because... we love Nikon
My personal experience is pretty simple. I migrated to certain lens focal once I stopped listening/reading others,especially photographers. When I started seriously I was avid of advices and was focused only on French forums where pedantry is so high that I decided to never participate to any French forums any-more. The basic advices was "never shoot portrait with lenses under 85 mm..." blabliblabla ... You see what I mean.
So I started to be my own master by empiricism and guess what ? I shoot portraits only with 50mm and 180mm. Of course at the start I bought some 85mm but I was never comfortable with. Something is missing in this semi long focal. I fear the same for the 105 but if I buy the 105 it will be essentially for the performances, not the focal.
And I NEVER used something wider than 50mm. If the next Nikon camera is what I expect I will need to invest in new lenses, the good lenses, and probably my first 35 mm lens ever.
