They did?
I do not remember a normal Nikon 85mm f2.8 lens... f1.8 MF, f2 MF, yes. They still have their 85mm f2.8 PC. And Canon still has its TS-E 90mm f2.8.
Canon had a 85mm f2.8 soft focus for the FD mount. Gor Ef they did not "drop" the soft focus lens, they still have it as 135mm f2.8 SF.
My point was that Sony had one nice product in their line up which made it interesting (very compact and affordable 500mm), but now it is not in the line up anymore.

Com' on - a TS-E is hardly comparable to a conventional lens. It has no AF just to mention the obvious and it resides on a different planet in terms of pricing.
