The 85 1.4G is usually readily available but Nikon has had a rebate since Feb 1st I think so all those on the fence have been ordering.

I'm gonna have to wait until the last day of the rebate to examine my finances and order it with bill me later/paypal credit if I'm able to.

I had experience with the Sigma. Beautiful portrait lens. But I don't have any experience with the Nikon G, so I cannot compare. For the price, Sigma is an excellent option.

The 85 1.4g is awesome at the regular price. With the rebate, well that's just icing on the cake.

It seems like this lens was first introduced around 2010 or 2011, right? Any idea, aside from occasional rebate, what the price was at introduction? Just curious if they ever lower prices on lenses over time (I know for some naturally do when they stop manufacturing one due to a newer release like from version I to II, etc.).
