Quote:On most bodies the focussing accuracy with the 85mm f1.2 L USM (II) is fine, but the lens is much slower to focus than your Nikkor 85mm f1.4. And 85mm f1.4 of course is pretty big, aperture wise!I used it yesterday evening in dim light and with dancing people and was happy to get some shots where the focus was alright, but with moving subjects it's more saying about my technique and lack of understanding the AF ( not to get every picture sharp ) than about the lens. Although it was in service last year because the AF motor didn't work properly. So my relation to the lens is not a very confidential one, I don't see myself relying on it in every moment. But that' sailing on a high level, I prefer to be happy about the good shots and get more experience.
Anyway, if Sigma comes out with a 85/1.4 Art type I'll give that a try. And then there's still an option to switch to Canon one day.
Edit: Just forgot: thank you for posting the picture, now I understand better. Interesting solution with the electrical contacts in front of glass.
