Canon EF 200mm f/1.8L USM Holy Grail

For the record the Sigma 85 and 135 Art is just as sharp if not sharper than the 200/2. Renders very close. I'll pickup a 135 1.8 to be my "poor man" 200/2 but in native sony. Should be a bit more usable and lighter.

Talley... May I inquire on what type of photography you shoot?

Coffee cups and test charts...

I'm just a husband and dad to 4 kids. Just want to shoot them as they grow and try to fill in various other things in the mean time. I like all aspects to photography so I really like learning and trying new things. I'm not that good but I get better as time moves on.

Kinda hard to do any photography when your waking up at 3:30a leave the house at 4:20a driving 1.4hr to work then working 14hrs then drive 1.4hr back home then bed by 10pm and repeat for the past 3 months.

I'm tired. We finally finished cutovers so I'm back on a 5/10 schedule and have weekends off but now I'm backlogged on projects around the house. It never ends.

You are one dedicated father and husband!!! Much respect, good sir... All the best you and the fambam, Talley!!

Lovely! Just moved from WA last December. Wish I had this lens when we went to Skagit for the Tulip Festival.
