Nikon 135 f2 vs 85 1.8g

[mart77]

Was really hoping to hear from someone that has shot both. What are your thoughts on the both in terms of
1) image quality wide open
2) focus speed in lower light conditions

Thanks

I've owned both at different times, still have the 85. Get the 85mm f/1.8G, you won't be disappointed. The 135 is the older screw driven autofocus system and the wide open purple fringing can be off putting. The DC control I didn't notice too much difference in the images truth be told, probably more of a gimmick than anything else. The Nikon 28/50/85 1.8G line are absolute steals for the money. The 135 really needs a refresh.
