As I wait for my 50/1.4 GM to arrive in early May I’m rethinking my travel kit.
B&H had this shipping date up for quite a while but I see that they now say shipping will begin April 20th
Far as a lens for portraits I love the Zeiss Batis 85mm, it has OIS and been my main portrait lens for about 3-1/2 years, I got it new on sale for only $898 during a summer sale. It has the same 67mm filter thread as my Tamron 20-40 f2.8, 35 GM and Batis 135. Same for the new 50 f1.4 GM too. Makes it real convenient when traveling, carrying just one set of screw on filters.
But I really like the new Sigma I lenses too and have a few as a smaller kit. Saw the 90 f2.8 was on sale at Adorama and put in an order a few days ago to try as the portrait lens in this kit. Sure it will be very good, but the Zeiss does have just superb rendering at f1.8, something I will be interested to see how the Sigma 90 at f2.8 stacks up against.
