... But this lens I dare times. So far, my favorite lens for portrait and Akt was 1.4 / 50, which is already very good. But the '85 is still significantly better. Actually, you can only use superlatives, the quality is really outstanding. It's been very good with open aperture, though the depth of field is very small then. At a great distance (concerts, etc.) but that is not a flaw and is not significant. For portraits and stopped down to 5.6 or more, it creates an amazing sharpness for a very nice bokeh and blurred background, what else very rarely on Crop cameras has. From previous reviews of the benefits have been mentioned enough, so I call some of what might be regarded as a disadvantage under some circumstances. - The autofocus is a little slower than other lenses, too slow for sports photography. But there is not thought so. - It is difficult. I do not mind, on the contrary. But some people find it not so great. - The lens hood is a bit sensitive and the lock is too loose. I have the lens with Gaffa "taped", since the material can not be glued, if it breaks even. Furthermore di Aperture jammed so better on the lens.
The lens is a dream, the quality of the optics without (for me) comparison. Sure, it's expensive but it is worth the money.
