I'm a hobbyist photographer, and I bought the DS version because it offers something different. I'm not sure if I'll like it, but I have a 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 24-105mm f/4, so the DS lens might be interesting. Also, the loss of light could actually be beneficial since I mainly shoot during the day with good natural light
I grabbed the DS lens earlier this week as it was £2,209 in the prime day sale. I've wanted it for a while but was waiting for just such an opportunity. (I live in Jersey so no VAT, just Jersey Tax, so my cost was actually £1,928).
I don’t know if you mentioned it, but they did say that I think by F4 that the defocus smoothing is completely gone so you really have to shoot it wide open to see the benefits.
This lens is way out of my price range I’m a hobby flower n foliage photographer I need good macro ability I shoot with a Canon R100 Fun to watch and learn about this lens in your RUclips channel

Great review, thanks!

think Sony will follow suit soon ? ...
I doubt it. Sony tends to prioritize small size and low weight so they're more likely to do yet another 85 f/1.4.
