Refreshing review of the 85L. I guess we had enough reviews about the technical capabilities...

I'm seriously interested though what motivated you to buy that lens. Was it pictures from others you liked? Was it G A S? I was actually looking into that lens as well, but between all the other lenses I have I did not find enough reason yet to have it.

I love guys who check out gear, and then sell them like new again. That's where I got most of my as new stuff with a very nice discount

He bought it for 1600 from Adorama, which probably means their ''open box'' campaign... So twice used.

Wonderful lens wide open as well as stopped down and very versitale - I never used a lens with more accurate AF.
