I've been lusting this lens for a while now, this review is an example of one of the many people who sing its praises. I'm hopeful of getting it on the Christmas list, but I may have to improve my grovelling skills :lol: :lol:

I love my 85mm 1.4D.

If i were to ever give up on photography and get rid of my equipment, i would still keep this lens. ;)

I love the lens, the 85/1.4, most accompanied lens with me in any shooting, never leave home without it. :wink:

Oh yeah! like all the shot of the models on his website!
And I know why? :roll:
