Do you think you should wait for an 85 from Sigma?

Helpful answer

As Schaufuss has already said: The price for the 85 is very good, because optical quality is 1A. In addition, the lens is quite small and light and the AF is very fast/quiet. If something comes from Sigma, it will probably be F1.4, but that will be a bit heavier and also a bit more expensive.

Compact, light and sharp. And costs only a fraction of GM. Therefore certainly a good buy. But if it should be quite cheap, then maybe look at Viltrox Fx-85mm 1.8. Or if you need F/1.4, then Samyang AF 85mm F/1.4 FE. Personally I stick with the Sony FE85mm, just because I love AF/MF switch on lens and is lightest. :-)

At this price, I would go for Sony. I have this lens and am thrilled with the quality, even at F1.8. For portraits and other separation of the subject from the background, the 85 f1.8 is simply terrific.
