Three year extended warranty plus one year standard warranty. It is just is a lot of money for me to spend without a safety net.
I hope it hits the market soon, not that I will be buying right away, just that that is when the clock starts ticking to the time the street price stabilizes. The Sigma 50mm f1.4 is around $500 now, I expect the 85mm f1.4 to be around that at some point.
Thank you
