Really, it is amazing how little CA these fast lenses have. There was a time when f/10 was considered too fast due to CA. (A long time ago, sure, but still )


I owned the 35 1.4 first and at 1.4 CA could be pretty heavy. Then I got the 85 1.2 and I think I'd say the CA was similar so when I got the 50 1.2 I was blown away at well it handle CA. I don't know if it is the FL or what, since the 85 and 50 about the same age technology wise.


You won't have any regrets with the 85L. Especially if you are accustomed to that FL. After a couple days shooting with it you won't even think about the price. With the cost of the lenses coming out, the 85L seems like a bargain anyway.
