Quote:I already own th2 109mm macro and love it, flawless portrait lens.
So if 85mm f1.8 will add nothing to what I have I will skip it
PS I prefer crop system but I also have full frame
In that case it won't add anything, not IMO anyway .
I was aware you had FF as well. With FF an 85 F/1.8 is even less different from a 100 F/2.8; the difference is really insignificant from an FL POV, and the macro is way better from an optical and IQ POV anyway .
Some people swear by the 85 F/1.8, I am well aware of that. I used to swear at it.
Considering you have the macro, you may be better off getting a135L or Sigma 135 F/1.8.
Kind regards, Wim
