The more I look at the new 85mm f1.4 the more I want to get one and see how it performs. the 50mm f1.4 EX has set a good example at a very reasonable cost. I would expect the new 85mm f1.4 to perform like a Canon's 85/1.2L (at large apertures at least) but priced more like a 85/1.8 gets fatter (say $700).


I sold my 85/1.8. I'll just wait to see how this one shines. If not... then Canon 135/2L is another option.
