50 mm vs 85 mm for portraits and candid?

Which prime would you prefer to use? My Nikkor 50mm 1.4 is excellent, but I wanted a little more reach but not too much telephoto, would 85mm work well or should reach further, eg 135mm?

Can't the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 focus close-up like what 60mm 2.8 micro?

I'm now using 18-200mm and I'm satisfied but sometimes I can't shoot up pretty closely since it won't focus well. I'm doing food photography and its all about focusing something in the food and its really have to be pretty close to the subject. So would 50mm 1.4 do the work of 60mm 2.8 micro?

Added (1). But will extension tubes plus the 50mm 1.4 work as the 60mm 2.8 micro?

Brand New Bronica EC?

Anybody have any idea what this camera would be worth? It comes with Nikkor 75 f/2.8 and all the parts it needs to work. Assuming its in perfect working order. It has quite literally never been taken out of the box.

Added (1). Follow what?

Added (2). Thanks, I've seen that, but I have also run across prices ranging from $250 with that ebay ad being the highest so far.

Does anybody really know when Lee's SW150 Holder will be available in the US market?

Getting antsy waiting for the Filter holder for the 14-24mm Nikkor. It is already 2.5 months behind projected release… Would be nice knowing the expected price as well.

Do Nikkor lenses fits with Sony Alpha?

Do Nikkor lenses fits with Sony Alpha?

Added (1). So, is there no way that a Nikkor can mount on a Sony?

I saw on YouTube that a Hasselblad lens was mounted on a Nikon DSLR.

Can I use a Nikkor lense on a Pentax KX body?

Just what it sounds like - my dad has a collection of old Nikkor lenses that have no Image Stablization and I want to use them on a KX body because it has IBIS. Failing that could someone let me know what the cheapest Nikon camera that has IBIS is?

I looked almost everywhere on the web, and couldn't find the piece, or even the name of the piece. Could anybody help me out?

What Nikkor Lens should I lug?

Going to Key West with my D-80 next weekend. Shooting inside and out, close and far, high and low light, sunrise/sunset. My walkaround is a Nikkor 18-200mm VRII. I'm also taking a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 prime.
I have room for one more Nikkor in the bag. Pick one and explain why:
18-55 and/or 55-200mm kit lenses (came with a D-50, not the newer ones)
70-300mm 1:4 (the cheap beer can lens, not the newer VR version)
55-200mm 1:4 VRI (I'm leaning toward this one)
And no, I don't have the new 70-300mm VRII… Yet.
