Ah, the curse of the 85mm and the lemon bokeh balls :-(It is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

Nice, but I wonder if it will be more costly than the just-introduced version?It is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

I expected the DS to deliver more blurry background than the standard version of the lens but am surprised to see that the bokeh balls are so much more rounded with the DS as well. That definitely makes it an important consideration...It is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

The DS looks nicer. However if it is significantly more expensive i think it would be wiser to buy the cheaper version as you can replicate the effect reasonably well with some careful local clarity and sharpness reduction in lightroomIt is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

It looks nice enough , bring it onIt is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

I'd certainly expect some Tstop reduction. Where did the 1.5 stops come from? Is that published somewhere?It will.Nice, but I wonder if it will be more costly than the just-introduced version?It is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!

lets note that it has a 1,5 stops loss compared to the standard version
You really can't replicate the effects an apodization filter has on bokeh in Lightroom, particularly in transition areas from in focus to out of focus.

From what I understand an apodization filter, in effect, sort of reduces the aperture, as it's like a concentric ND filter, hence the T stop difference, and hence why the effect of vignetting is reduced, as it's like shooting this f1.2 lens at around f2 or so in that regard - you can see that the bokeh balls in the centre are quite a bit smaller than the regular version.
Thanks!
Yea. It’s interesting to see the differences. The example images and the plain language explanations are very helpful.
IMO, the DS looks much worse. That Gaussian blur looks like a PS or a phone one. The centers of the bokeh balls are often blown.It is the only shot I found but I like it a lot!
