Final Review
2

The final review by the same reviewer of the original post.

http://ran.innori.com/878

In the review the pictures before flare tests seem to have been taken with 85 F/1.2 L long time ago. It is the first part of the review. The second part of the post is filled with recycled materials that show the performance of the new lens. Then, some comparisons between 85 1.2 and 85 1.4 follow and the reviewer makes a long concluding remark with a bunch of test shots.

In summary,
85 F/1.2 is slow, but artistic.
85 F/1.4 is an all-round player.

Because he has been familiar to 85 1/2 for 6 years, he won't change his old lens with the new one. However, if he started from scratch, he would choose the new one because of his moving children.
