Third Party 85mm f1.4

cichlid · 5th October 2008

Hi

I wonder why do Sigma, Tamron and Tokina didnt come out with a 85mm f1.4 lens?

No market for it?

Sigma's 30mm and 50mm are really impressive and I bet Sigma has the financial muscle to design one. May be the price will be too close to Nikon's

but then the 50mm is already quite expensive

Well, if they do, they had better come up with something brilliant and/or cheap because those from Canon, Nikon and Sony are really top-notch stuff.
