You shoot horses, do you?
Uhhh....yes.. Even with people on them... :-)
Here's where I'm at right now on this decision: Spend the majority of my funds on the Sony 16-38 f2.8 GM, then buy the value Sony FE 85mm f1.8. This is based on reading many reviews and watching various peoples opinions and comments.
The 16-35mm f2.8 is a very well regarded lens, and the range is one I use a lot for my landscape work. The FE 85mm f1.8 is nearly 98% of the 85mm f1.4 at 1/3 the cost, and at least equal with the Zeiss Batus in performance and 1/2 the price. It was mentioned in several reviews that the bokeh and background on the 85 f/1.4 is better than the f 1.8, but that it's a personal choice. So, that's worth a try to see if I'm happy with the IQ, and save some money.
I'm hoping I like the 85mm focal length. It's not a focal length that I've shot at, other then on the way from 24mm to 105mm. I'm hoping the 85mm will be good enough that I can take it as a carry around lens. Maybe I should be looking at a 50mm lens too?
FYI, just because I order something doesn't mean it's final....at least for 30 days. :-)
Kind regards,
Patrick
