Does anyone know where I can get a good price on a new 85mm f/1.2L? Have been looking and can't find anything below $1400. Last week I swore I saw on for 13.

Never mind. Bought it. Bit the bullet and went to trusty old B&H. Not the best price, but reliable service. That has to be worth something.

I saw where you sold your 85mm f/1.8. What will you be using the f/1.2 on that you couldn't do with the f/1.8? Just curious.

The 85/1.2 is optically stunning, definitely superior to the (very good) 85/1.8. If I were in the market for a prime in the 85mm range, I would buy the 1.2 version.
