Been looking at a few of the second hand options available from MPB and some of the serial numbers show affected by recall but no information as to whether they've been updated and fixed by Nikon. Grey price from from Panamoz and e-infinity looks good but never bought grey before.

Been looking at that Sigma 135 again. Disappointed with the price point, but then everything has rocketed. You can pick up the Nikon 105 1.4E for the same price grey. So, which is best?
It's not likely this year as need to pay my mpb off, maybe there will be some price deflation on the siggy but can't see the Nikon falling.
I loved the 135 when I had the canon and the fl is perfect for chasing kids when they're a bit older than mine currently are, perfect for next year.
I handled the 105 at the photo show, it's a beast. There's been a few early early reports of some AF inconsistencies already with the siggy but that's almost a given. I'd probably be prepared to spend a day driving over to WEX to test a few samples and I'd def get the dock.
The actually difference between 85 and 105 is 23%. I'd definitely ship the 70-200 in to help fund and so leaves me a tad short in reach, but then I don't really shoot anything long these days. It's nice to isolate with a long FL but reality is I don't use the long lens much at all.
Seriously? That's a massive change by Facebook if so. Forcing more and more people to boost posts. I always tagged bride and grooms to help share my page and did so only a couple of weeks ago, will be gutted if it's the case.

You're probably right. I reckon a great combo would be 24/35/58/105. Reading the reviews on the 105 the sharpness is insane, much better than the 85 1.4. Strangely I've been using my 85 quite a bit these last few weeks and it's no slouch, here's some from yesterday..Makes me want that 105 now. Haven't gone to town on these, just very quick edits. LR seems stable now too following that update
I didn't know the 105 f1.4 so I just had a look at some reviews. Oh and i look at camera price buster.... Ouch my eyes hurt now!
The size of that beast too for a prime!

It's a lot of dough for sure, £1400 at Panamoz. But it's that special lens. A bit OTT for me really but it's the kind of lens that I would have for 20 years. I have what I need really and so any additions have to add something extra. It's a while off yet, must admit.
Theres good threads on both in the FM forums.
I've been eyeing them both up and wasn't sure which i would prefer. though a lot ditched there 85 when they got the 105 as it was so close a FL.
Had a quick read on FM, it's fuelling the 105 GAS! Wow!
I don't think I could warrant an 85 and 104 1.4, they're too close in FL. The ideal for me would be 35/58/105 I reckon. I'd probably get the 24/85 1.8's to plug those gaps but no necessity to begin with. Might look at chopping in the 85 & 70-200 to fund a 105. Get a used 58 somewhere too.
I couldn't justify taking such a large hit selling my 85 though. The comparison between the two on the sigma thread was suprising though. When both framed the same there was little difference in the images, the drop of and sharpness just being higher on the sigma.
The faster af of the sigma would also be an advantage
