I went through this too. Never used my 85 1.8 because I didn't trust it. My 85 now almost never leaves my camera. I am really digging this lens. May be the first time i have ever gotten a lens and been blown away by it.

Just got my lens in today. Haven't had a change to MFA yet. Here are some very quick shots I did of my dog who did not appreciate being woke up from her nap. I hope to get some better shots this weekend, and put it through its paces. I have to say though, I would never have gotten these shots 1/30 and 1/40 of a second without the IS. These were shot in a dimly lit bedroom with the only light being the window light from camera right. This first shot my dog probably was about 2 - 2.5 feet from the background.

I'm really undecided between buying this 1.4 compared to 1.2 II.
I'm in crisis !!

Apparently you have time to think. The 1.4 seems to be on backorder in most places!

I pulled out the 85 at a HS gymnastics meet yesterday (too close to use the 200 or 135) and was very pleased with the results. Autofocus was fast and spot-on. Note: These are cropped.

As someone who has both, my recommendation would be to get the 1.4.

Only advantage of the 1.2 is that you can shoot at 1.2. For everything else, the 1.4 is just as good if not notably better.

Had a chance to use this lens today while we were out celebrating my granddaughter's birthday. Don't judge the quality of the shots too much, because the lighting here was awful. All different kinds of neon lights continually changing brightness. Here are a couple of candid shots I was able to get, and the focus was spot on.

Yes, my doubt stems from this.
So the new model is more performing, better af, faster and more precise, better tropicalization, better weight balance dimensions, stabilizer and 77mm filters.
Many photographers say that despite all these improvements, the 85mm 1.2 II is still hibeable for its performance, returns images with a unique dream effect.
My doubt is whether it is better to have the new technology to the detriment of the dream effect.
