Re: 85mm 1.4 L IS preview

Lots of people love the f/1.2 despite the horrible CA. In fact, the reason I got rid of mine was mostly because of the inconsistent and slow focusing. If this f/1.4 version improves significantly on the focus accuracy and speed, then I think it will do well despite there still being some CA. I know I will be considering buying one... I don't consider the difference between f/1.2 and f/1.4 to be a deal breaker.  With that said though... That image showing the very worst CA... I thought that red was the color of the material!  That is ridiculously bad!
