The new 85mm is a must and makes the outdated model redundant

Aug 27, 2010

Cannot say this often enough. How could you shoot a portrait without the extra manual control of focus the new AFS lens offers Did you not hear about the horrible CA of the old model?

Despite the fact that I got the 105 F2.0 DC I started to monitor ebay for a mint 85mm f1.4 AFD
