Hmmm. I'm not fond of your name for it, but I guess I am a little bit of a gear whore as you called it! Lol No I don't worship my gear as you say, but I do love having the best lens I can afford for the types of photos I want to take! Lol
But my goal right now is to get lenses that will help me get the most out of my D800E, leaving only my skill level needing improvement! My ultimate goal is just to have fun enjoying my hobby, and I'm doing that too! Lol

why would the 85 1.4d or even the 1.8d not be a good lens for professionals? theyre both better performers than the 70-200 2.8 nikkors.
I highly doubt it. I sold my 105VR (dont use often enough and not a macro fanatic and I can use extension tubes if need be) and I had the 105 EX older sigma and the 105 2.8D and while I didnt try the new sigma, I still highly doubt it. besides their art lenses, all of there lenses are never extremely sharp open aperture. the nikon is razor sharp. though the 85 1.8G is noticeably sharper.
and to answer your question, yes there are a few lenses id like to buy
-sigma 85 1.4 ART
-sigma 50-85 f/2 art
-tamron 15-30 VC
-sigma fisheye 15mm 2.8
but atm my gear satisfies me. im not a gear whore. Im more into shooting then going to my bag and worshipping the gear. its only tools for creating images. will better tools help create better images? yes. but only a little bit more.
