changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4
#10
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 Smile.

 

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 Smile.

 

Some people swear by the 85 F/1.8, I am well aware of that. I used to swear at it. Smile

 

Considering you have the macro, you may be better off getting a135L or Sigma 135 F/1.8.

 

Kind regards, Wim
