Ive been thinking for quite some time about a new 85mm 1.4 lens to replace my old Nikon 85mm 1.8.

Looking around a very good copy of a 85 1.4 D was almost as much as a new offering from Sigma.

Nikons lovely new G lens was quite a price hike so after a LOT of research the choice seemed to be the Sigma, the G at over twice the price from what I read was certainly not twice the lens.

I have never had a problem with where to buy my kit, it has  been  for a very long time Park Cameras in Burgess Hill ( http://www.parkcameras.co.uk ).

Normally I love an excuse to make the 50 minute journey down there but I thought I would try their mail order service and as  with all things Park, they dont let you down. I ordered at 4.15 on Tuesday and 10.25 the next morning it is on my camera.

My initial reaction is I have made the right choice, fast focusing and my initial tests show its bang on focus with my D700 and my D300.

Images to follow.

Its always good to find a cat for a test picture:
