Has anybody yet compared the Nikon 85/1.4D/G (both or one of them) vs. the Sigma 85/1.4 or found some link?
I know Sigma handes CA better and the AF responds quicker than the Nikon version. Sigma appears to be sharper at the center too.
I once had the Nikon 85 1.4 it was great.
Today, I would pick the Sigma. But if the Nikon name does it for you, then go ahead!
Ryan Brenizer posted a review of the Sigma 85/1.4. He's a well known NYC wedding photographer who relies almost solely on a 85/1.4 - and apparently he prefers the Sigma over the Nikon. According to RB, both lenses have splendid bokeh. The Nikon has slightly better optics but the Sigma handles better between those two he prefers the Sigma.
