[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 314079, member: 14443"] Who knows if nikon is updating them or not. when they do release this, and sigma release theres, Im getting the DC for cheap. its great till now, and it doesnt mean it wont be when a new model comes out. my best friend I shoot with has this lens and Ive used it. soft at f/2 and the FL is hard to work with but from f/2.8 its stellar. my friend says the AF isnt so fast but when I tried it, it was very fast. I am not paying 2 grand for a plastic bodied lens. screw that. I want that metal tank body with the crinkle finish the current one has. the way lenses are supposed to be made. not like todays garbage lenses they put out. screw that. they make these new lenses look good but besides better IQ by a bit lack a lot more. close focusing isnt so improved, AF speed is crap and slower. lens hood and body made of cheap plastic. nikon is cutting corners and their stock shows it. I would like to see the new sigma 85 1.4. if its af is quick AND accurate, then ill toss my 85 1.8d for that. but hell no would I pay more and get less like these new nikon lenses theyve been releasing. they look nice but compared to the old series, they look like toys. ripoff isnt a strong enough word.
