Its just not sharp enough at 2.8 over 135mm. I prefer shooting with my 85 at 2.8 when i shoot people. 2.8 and 135mm+ isnt so easy. Dof is quite tiny and being accurate is sometimes funny that the camera says its in focus but its off by a bit. Other times its fine. The af performance and brighter vf is a big plus. Significant difference.  Just like when i mount my 85 1.8 vs the 70-200 vr1.  Big difference.  Get a used nikon or a tamron vc if you can. I will tell you this.. You will need practice to get stabile images.  Its not as easy as it seems at first.  Good luck</p></blockquote><p></p>
