[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 382814, member: 11881"] I was looking to purchase the 85mm 1.4. Price was not an issue as I had the money and it was the lens I wanted. What changed my mind was the greater CA of the 1.4 and the reality that my customer will not know the difference between Bokeh at 1.4 vs 1.8. In the end I went with the 1.8 and put the extra money back in my pocket... for just a moment before I purchased an additional lens I hadn't planned on that day. :) One other thought on the 85mm 1.8G - the focus is not fast. It's not slow, but it's not fast. The 85mm 1.8G is truly beautiful, you won't be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
