Great pics here and hard to believe the Sigma would be any better but that's what I'm hearing.. Anyone switch to Sigma? It is a good bit lighter.

The GM 85mm lens is a portrait/people lens and as such, it is not the sharpest tool in the shed and that by design. Folks prefer the rendition over the sheer sharpness when they choose this lens. It renders not only people in a pleasing way but also the bokeh quality, including the “bokeh balls” (out-of-focus light sources), which are rendered pretty much as round highlights across the frame.
A lot of folks equate quality as sharpness; the sharper, the better. Of course, the price speaks for the Sigma as well. I do have the Sigma 105mm f/1.4, which is a unique lens and there is currently no equal of that in the Sony lineup and I do have the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN, which I prefer over the Sony 35mm GM lens. The point I am trying to make here is that I am not “married” to Sony and choose whatever fits my preference. And, by the way, I am keeping my GM 85mm. It is plenty sharp for my needs and I enjoy its rendition…

Oh wow! That's so bloody cheap. I feel it's a bit telling, maybe Sony are wanting to clear stock for something new?

Could be, but there’s been a few incredible offers on E Mount lenses recently. I picked up a 50mm GM for 2336 AUD.
