Can I afford it? Unclear at this time but highly unlikely at launch price.
I certainly don't need it. I already have the very superb A*85/1.4 and the nearly as superb 77/1.8 and the somewhat mundane M85/2.
However, the want is strong in me.
My plan is to stay healthy, not miss any work, and take my danger pay bonuses and put that towards the new lens.
I'm being paid pretty well right now spending 40 hours a week doing what my bosses tell me to do. My last bonus bought the 70-210/4, and depending on how the next few months pan out, I should be able to pick up the new 85/1.4 on excess earnings.
Or, I will succumb to covid-19, in which case I hope the group here is kind enough to be nice to Mrs Wheatfield and give her fair pricing for my stuff.
