What do you think about the bokeh that 85L 1/4 will produce?

if bokeh is on par with the 85 f1.2, then that is not a reason to change

I know that not many people have seen it, but I think the lens is currently being shipped and we will start seeing reviews in the next 1-2 weeks.

I will purchase this lens if I am going to see the following:

1. Bokeh on par with 85 L 1.2

2. Sharpness on par with Sigma 85 Art

You forgot the fourth option that no matter how good the Bokeh is, 85 f1.2 ii users will never admit that it’s better anyway

How would you measure it?  It is all subjective which means to be better that it would have to be  lot better otherwise you wont know that it is really better.  Same with sharpness.....now if it focuses like a Corvette going around a corner, then perhaps it will be worth getting.

I had a pre-order in with B&H and decided to cancel and just stick with my f1.2 lens.   If it turns out to be light years better, then I will order one....I decided to sit this order sequence out.....
