Ok, excellent then, it's the internet, malice is always implied.    Also it's very easy to be misinterpreted, thus my request for clarification.  Again, glad for you that you are happy with the 85L.

Wow! I never intended my comment to be read with such malice, just enthusiasm. So I guess I'm a bit taken aback here. The comment you refer to addresses the reasons I chose not to buy the 1.2 early on, and were the things that kept me from buying one all this time. I would hope my words might prompt someone else who is sitting on the fence to go out and give the lens a shot.
