Wonder how the new Samyang 85mm AF compares?
I would guess favorably. It seems post-Otus that many high performing teles have been released—optical compenancy seems acheived by most manufacturers at this point. The Batis, Sony FE, Canon 85 1.4 L IS, Tamron 85 1.8, Sigma Art, Leica 80 1.25, Samyang 85 1.2, Fuji 56 1.2, micro 4/3 45 1.2, Sony GM 85, nikon 105 1.4 are all new. It’s an amazing amount of recent competant lenses. Pentax has announced an 85 1.4 as well.
I think the major differences now will reside in micro contrast, tonal sensitivity and color palate. Everyone seems mostly to be favoring the ZA 85/85L rendering of very smooth ultra abstracted bokeh. Given lenses keep getting larger, more abrasion free with better off central sharpness, I think we’ll a reversion to smaller, more character lenses like the cv 40 1.2 or zm 50 1.5. The portrait lens world is ripe for something just like this.
