If you're just doing portraits, why not the cheaper Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8? You won't need 17-28mm a lot for most traditional portraits of children.

The 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor and 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor are also good choices for portraits.



Usually I answer "Yes", but it's really up to you. When talking pro glass like the 17-55mm f/2.8, you're really paying for the build quality as compared to third party options, not optical quality.

Thaks for the advice and the other choices as well, I am going to look into them also.

Thanks
