Thanks for everyone's help. Right now, I have a 80-200mm 3.5-6.3 macro. It is a Tamron. I have taken some portrait shots with it and I will try to post one on the people board.

It is my main lens indoor or outdoor, it's great! "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." "

The bokeh and overall IQ is better.
