not to shabby.

about i think what people were expecting .. 1600 for the 85 seems about right, more than the 1200 sigma art, but it'll AF better, and have IS.

599 for the M100 kit seems okay. I had hoped it would come in around 50-100 cheaper and canon put a world of hurt on the lower end of the market. Would be curious if they'll offer a body only option as that SHOULD be around 120 or so off the M100 or around $479 for body only - which is a pretty damned good deal for a 24MP DPAF sensor based camera. it's 50 bucks more than the A5100, and 50 bucks less than the A6000, but what can you do. it's the same price as the Fuji X-A3 to round out the competition.

Now is it competitive? did they leave off AEB,etc or did they make it a mini-M6? if they made it a mini M6 they'll give the A5100 and A3 a run for the money. the A6000 will still beat it out, if you don't mind actually being seen in public with a Sony.

btw, this makes the T7 rumor seem likely that it too may go DPAF.

The 85mm is less than I expected. Will likely be wildy popular at this price.

+1. Ring USM? No more focus by wire? Surely sharper in the corners than the 85mm f/1.2L II.

Could be just like the 35L II vs. the 35 Art. This new Canon 85L IS could be an 85mm Sigma Art lens with modern first-party Canon AF routines and weather sealing for $600-700 more. And this one has IS.

Will. sell. like. hotcakes.

I wonder if the 85 1.2 will be kept around and a new version released III in the future for over $2k...hmm.

In other words, I wonder if this'll be like the 16-35 series - if the new 85 1.4 IS will be better optically than the current 1.2 version. I hope so - like I said before, if it can match/surpass the 100L in resolving power, this one's a gimme...

In my opinion, the ef 35mm f1.4L II is better in many ways that the Sigma Art 35mm. Optimal contrast rather than heavy handed, better bokeh, smoother tonal transitions, more vibrant colors.

I don't have any comparison for the new 85 except for the two current Canon versions. If the AF is quick, and it compares favorably to the 35mm II's IQ (objective, subjective, and magical), yes, it will sell--better than hotcakes, because so many in the US and Europe have lost their minds over carbs, glutton, wheat...

Only thing I'm curious about is how much better the CA is than the 85 Art, especially because it doesn't have the BR coating.

e_honda, I'm not entirely sure it won't have the Bloo Goo. Canon marketing people pushed that BR concept hard on the 35mm II launch, but it might just be that this was a way to take the curse off the word "plastic" for lens elements. They referred to it as an "organic material," which I take to mean plastic. No one really knows. Point is, they might use the material in many future lenses and never bring up the BR term again. That would be especially so if the purpose of the "BR" branding was to attack the expected criticism for a plastic element on its first launch. The less said after that the better. I think this is why people like the Bloo Goo term, as it sort of pokes fun at the mystery.

Very surprised about the price of the 85mm 1.4. Should kick the Sigma's ass.

And I'll take this moment to heartily thank Sigma for appearing to be the first company to actually make Canon react in such a manner. Was sure that 85mm was going to be a $2200 lens.

It still has a hurdle to pass, though. Anyone see an MTF chart on it? If the Sigma is sharper, then people will be looking at the Canon 1.4 (IS and native AF), the Sigma 1.4 (sharpest) and the Tamron 1.8 VC (no slouch all around and has IS, and is hugely cheaper), and it'll be a muddled market.

I almost worry that the price suggests we might be in for a disappointing surprise on the MTF results relative to the Art/Otus competition. I hope that worry isn't warranted, as I'd love to see the 35 1.4 II IQ at 85mm.

PS: If Canon disappoints by having only great image quality on the 85mm and not the very best, then it might give a clue as to why they have been absent in the wide aperture 50mm category for a number of camera generations. It just might be that as dismal as their 1.4 offering is, they're not seeing themselves able to offer something significantly better yet. Seems pretty unlikely, but then you'd have said it would be unlikely for them to not introduce a new flagship 50mm since AH Sanford was in short pants.

I don't give Sigma one iota of credit for causing Canon to do anything. Canon marketing see a niche and then the bean counters and engineers get together to see if they can make money filling it.

I wouldn't think of Sigma or Tamron alternatives, I value compatibility and consistency more than a few line pairs per mm, and certainly more than a few hundred dollars.

Anybody that thinks for one second Canon 'can't' design any lens they set their minds to is being a little rediculous, but unlike the privately owned Sigma, and the at any cost Zeiss, Canon don't have the luxury of making lenses the owners come up with on a whim or sell in such low volume niches.

sure, canon saw the 85 ART and decided to go down to someone's mom's basement and make up a new lens in a few months ....

Sigma had nothing really to do with it - the timeline is way too short.
