I know all the D800/D4 talk is still dominating proceedings and it seems at times I am the only person on the planet excited about this lens...
But the NEW 85 1.8G AFS lens has just been reviewed by Photozone. Photozone are very harsh critics of lenses, but they give this lens a 4.5 out of 5 rating for optical quality! They are saying it's 90 per cent as good as the 1.4 version. Shocking stuff...I will be getting one at some stage, I know that. The Sigma 85 1.4 was the cheap alternative at one point, it would seem this Nikon lens will be a smash hit.
Bokeh and purple fringing are improved, I sold my 85 1.8 AFD due to the awful bokeh and purple fringing.
