I have not used either, but I think the 77 is much smaller and lighter but better built. It also has great bokeh, although this is a little subjective and some may argue the 85 is better. I am sure I picked up that you either love or hate the bokeh of the 85. As you say the 85 is faster though - the question is perhaps whether you really need this speed.
I dont understand why you say the 77 is overpriced. It is �650 when the 85 is �900. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ryan Charron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 07 March 2002 23:25 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: 77mm 1.8 vs 85 mm f1.4 > > > Hi to All, > > OK, so I am going to finally buy a great portrait > lens. > I still have not firmly decided which of the two to go > for, although I am leaning towards the 85mm for it's > faster speed and focal length.
