I think both these Canon 85's are over-priced....the only way I could personally justify paying this high price for either of these lenses is if I actually made money doing portrait photography on a regular basis.
I do love the 85mm focal range though and have the Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 which is an awesome lens in my opinion, and a great alternative to Canons f/1.2 and 1.4 85mm lenses. (and is a lot cheaper). Yes it's just a 1.8 but this Tamron 85 is surprisingly sharp at f/1.8 and with it's VC can get sharp images at crazy slow shutter speeds. (and its weather sealed). It's fall off and background blur is beautiful!
I also have an approx. 45yr old S-M-C Takumar 85mm f/1.8 that'll give most modern 85mm's a good run for their money when it comes to image quality!!!!!
