True, although this will drive the current 85 1.4 price down so it's a win-win situation, except for those who already have it
This is pretty common for Sigma. Make a lens , then update it every year or two with a new coating, or a new motor in it, raise the price a bit and trash the resale value of the previous model. I have only one Sigma lens and the only way it will ever leave my bag is if I give it away. It has depreciated to $0 over the last 8 years because 4 replacement models have been made since it came out.
They may make nice lenses now, but be ready to lose your shirt when the replacement comes in a couple years.
