The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 @810 grams & 1239 euro is pretty appealing, but I think I rather stick with 85mm f/1.4 for my portraits. When I need reach for landscapes I rather use a 100-400mm.

I think you meant Tamron 70-200/2.8.

No, I have an A7IV next to my R5.

I wish they had the 70-180/2.8 available for RF.

I would prefer to slap it on my R5, and the same is true for the 50mm f/1.2 GM and Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DN, as the R5 is the better camera, but like the Rolling Stones where singing:  You can't always get what you want.

I almost bought this lens in e-mount for my Sony A6600.

Makes sense.
