Grumble, grumble. Just found out that my "easy access" to the 85L is moving to Houston this summer. Time to totally rethink my lens wishlist. He laughed when I told him about the list above.



Sorry to hear that peety.

For most of what I do my other 2 lenses get the job done(especially the 24-70; I don't use the 70-200 much i.e. keith).



I wish there was a place closer to me I could rent from. I have to drive 70 miles to rent gear.


I'm finding I'm getting decent hand held shots at 1/40 with 85 1.2. It feels very natural and stable to me.
