Shot a little comparison of two Canon 85's.
Top one is my 1.8.
Bottom one is rented 1.4.
Focused on the football and the helmet.
I'm old, I just don't see a great difference in the two. Not for the price difference.

You'd probably see more of a difference if there was more room between your subject and the background, but I'm still not sure if it's worth the price differential. The bragging rights would be satisfying, but I don't have a big problem with the image quality of the 85mm f/1.8. It has been a very good lens for my purposes.

Hi everybody, i have been following this thread for a few weeks and love all the work posted here, but like even more the good vives, so i was thinking buying this lens or the 1.2 but this thread just give me the answer so now i have the 1.8, and here is my favorite shot of my first test sesion with it, let me just say that im not a pro im just a photography aficionado.

Hope you can give me some tips or just say what you think of, it will be very appreciated.
