Hey Mike, since you allow edits I thought I'd take the liberty of correcting some of the technical shortcomings I spotted with your shot here:

I'm on the wrong side of the pond to know what kind of camera bag that is. Maybe the new Peak Design??
Enjoy the new ride Mike. :encouragement:
I added the Tamron 85mm f1.8 to the stable today. Its very close to the Tokina 100mm 2.8 macro, but the macro doesn't have vibration compensation. Now there is a macro lens for macro and a portrait lens for portraits.
I was torn between 1.8 with VC or 1.4 without. I think the VC will give me more options than the 1.4 but I've never shot with a 1.4 lens before, so IDK. Played around in low light last night after work and was very pleased with the results.

What focal length lens are you looking at? Keep in mind that before VC, photographers produced many great images so I would personally take a close look at the 1.4.
On that macro lens... are you able to hand hold for those shots. I find I cannot. I am too wobbly. When I try using my Nikon 60 2.8 D I do that using a tripod usually.
I've been wanting to experiment with a Tiffen Black Pro-Mist filter for a long time and finally decided to get one. Shelled out for an 82mm (!), 1/4 filter and a set of step-rings so I can use it on all my lenses.
I imagine it will look something like this; mainly because this is a product photo of a Tiffen 82mm Black Pro-Mist 1/4 filter:

I am not so experienced with filtering yet but I like the fact that you can buy the clear so to protect my lens. I have had it installed on all my lenses (2)since unboxing.
