Hi all,
So I have come close to buying this lens half a dozen times and I'm tiring of the dance. I'll be in NYC at the end of the week and B&H beckons.
I have had the 85mm f1.4D for 10+ years and used it on film and digital (pretty much only for portraits). I'm looking for a nice walkabout lens for my Df. I usually use MF primes with it, but I'd like to have at least one AF tele and I really like the 85mm perspective. I have never owned a mid-range zoom and don't want to go that way.
I feel like the 85 1.8G will fit as a more general purpose medium tele and thus fit my needs, but I'm a little on the fence given that I have the 85 1.4D.
So if I sound tortured and indecisive - well, yes, I am.
Advice appreciated, but NO, I am not purchasing the 85mm 1.4G.
Thanks, as always,
JT
