>From what I've seen it stacks up just fine. At $700.00 it stacks a bit to high for me though. :-( Actually, from the results I get with the 85/1.9 (Under $150.00) I don't know if the 77 could beat it for portraits, it WOULD be much easier to use and a lot smaller. >From the 77 examples I've seen I wonder if the Boket isn't just a bit sharp edged/harsh for portrait work. This could be a bit of a "sour grapes" thing but I really do love the way the 85 renders skin and OOF backgrounds. The word "creamy" comes to mind.
