I have the 80mm and it's the best lens I've ever used and owned. World class IQ, very fast AF, great OIS, weather sealing and of course excellent build quality.

It's also a very versatile lens that can be used for several types of photography.

Before I had the 80mm I also had the 60/2.4 and while that is also a great lens, the 80mm is definitely better in every way(except maybe when it comes to the weight).

I don't do much video, but I think the 80mm would be excellent for it. Not just because of the fantastic IQ, but also because of the very efficient OIS.

The only minor downside with the lens is like you mentioned the weight.

The minor downside is weight.

The major downside is the cost, that I am considering trading two versatile lenses for it

Thanks for vote of confidence for the 80mm
