The lovely and talented Mrs Thomas bought me a 47" Octabox for Christmas. Now I'm jonesing for an 85mm lens. I've got a gap from my 28-70 to my 100-400.
Stay tuned for pics. ![]() |

You have a 100-400?
![]() Doesn't sound like enough of a gap to warrant one. I have heard they are a great portrait lens, though. |

Can't find a bad review on the 85. Several say it's better than the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II and that lens cost 5x as much. |

I still have my 50mm 1.8 Mk.I(metal mount) from the film days. I don't like primes, but I don't do portrait or studio stuff anyway. We had a full time photographer that shot product only. He had a full studio with any and all the goodies he wanted. He didn't even use a prime. The ONLY prime that has blown me away for IQ is the 200mm F2.

Thomas take a look at the Sigma 85 1.4. That is my favorite lens. 2/3 stops faster and sharper then the 85 1.8 and focuses much faster and cheaper then the 85 1.2.
