You guys are right
I looked at weights and the 85 is twice the weight basically.
Pictures, aren't to scale on the website!!!
<objects heavier then they appear>
Guess I'll be ordering the 77mm shortly

probably more heavy duty overall.

however.

particularly with the hood.

at F:8. From F:4 to F:8 the 77 Limited is the best performer.
>5. Both have nice Bokeh but 77 Limited offer that special 3D effect.

recommend the 77 Limited over the 85/1.4 not at least due to weight and size
issues.
