I have two thoughts on this.
1) It doesn't say what body you're using, but one school of thought is just to crop to for ring/detail shots. If you bring a crop sensor body for a backup or anything, that may have higher pixel density and could be even better.
2) Macro lenses aren't just for macro and tend to be really great for other stuff, too. Look at your EXIF data and see how much of your 85mm stuff is being shot at less than f/2.8. If you're tending to stop down anyway, then the 85 might not be worth the $$$$ and space in your bag. If you're f/1.4 all the time, then that's another story. I'm not sure what is out there for Canon, but a different macro lens might be another alternative. I was in a similar situation with the Nikon 85 f/1.4 and 105 f/2.8 VR Macro lens. I ended up selling the 105 and getting the much smaller 60mm f/2.8 macro, which is considerably smaller and I really prefer the wider FOV for ring/detail work. ...Show more →
Thanks for your thoughts. I shoot with Canon 5D IV & 6D (only at wedding when dual strapping). When I shoot portraits, I usually shoot wide open (1.4-1.8) unless when I do environmental portraits then it's closer to F8. I probably looks at LR data more to see if I can narrow down the 85 and 135. If I have to pick one now, I'd sell the 85.
I'll probably look for macro filter and sell the Tamron macro.
