Of the Contax 85/2.8 formula like the Sony 85/2.8!

It's possible that Sigma is holding off on a 90mm-ish I Series lens because they released an 85mm and a 105mm not too long ago and they don't want to cannibalize sales.

I'm with you (and others here) in thinking 65mm wouldn't do much for me, having both the Sigma 45/2.8 and the Voigtlander 40/1.2. Maybe if I had unlimited funds I'd be interested, but I'd be much more interested in a compact 90mm with my current kit.

No matter how good the 65 may be, I can’t picture a scenario where I would say, “Yes! A 65mm would be perfect for this.” 65mm is neither fish nor fowl.

I love to shoot 50mm since it can work as a normal, mild wide, or mild telephoto when cropped. Same with 35mm. I can see way more uses for 24/35/50 than a 65mm. Am I alone in thinking this?

They should go for a 100/2 C next. Skip the 85mm all-together since they already have a great 85 Art.

Meanwhile, I will continue enjoying my Minolta 100/2
