I kind of feel like the 85 is doing to the 50 what the 50 did to the 35. It’s like the 35 has had a bad rap, but that’s like saying Jesus is not good because it’s not a Leica. All of these lenses range from excellent to stellar. Nikon has come up with a great balance of IQ, size and speed.

they maybe designed the 50 to be like a sigma art.
while the 85 has a more pleasing rendering.
but who knows.
and let's be honest, they are both great!
we are really nitpicking here.
