Could it be Seller knows many many A mount users are looking for it & willing to pay for the price , thats why they bring up the price so high ?
Lucky for me i did not go for it that day ...

If the price is so close, I'll definitely go for Z. If that's really 1/3, then G loh. I'm very unbias since I haven't tried both. But one noob opinion, Z can definitely do PP to looks like G, but not the other way... I'll definitely pay for the sharpness only if I have $$$.

by all mean 85mm f1.4 G is very sharp lens... i think you think slightly out of track as nice bokeh can't be reproduced (easily that is) in PP stage, but sharpness can be easily added to a photo. Even if the price is $100 different, I will go for 85mm f1.4 G anytime... CZ lens is not sharper, but it has higher contrast level which just give impression of sharpness. I would rather lower contrast so I can add them later rather than contrast blocking my shadow details and having less dynamic range. I could be wrong though... but that is the testing done by me tells me that way... but you are talking about marginal stuff. Hart |
