So let's list what we are talking about here
Canon 85mm F1.8
Weight 425g
Launch price $650, street price (new) $450
min focus distance, 0.85mm
Nikon 85mm F1.8
Weight 380g
Launch price $550, street price (new) $490
min focus distance, 0.85mm
Sony 85mm F2.8
Weight 175g
Launch/Street price $249
min focus distance, 0.6mm
And you said that all these lenses are equal optically from F2.8 and up. So for F2.8 and up, you have twice the weight in the bag for what?

Please please stop for a moment and try to explain to this community what your point is <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> If you have a certain type body, you buy lenses for that body. That's all! So what if some other manufacturer has a different, lighter, better, cheaper lens.
I would like our moderators to delete all the input that has no point, is insulting or otherwise just makes this Forum less and less pleasant to visit. Thanks in advance!
