[@williamcahill617]

Awesome
Question…Will their be a 85mm 1.2 DG DN Art ??

[@heatherlarkin]

There currently isn't a 85mm 1.2

[@mchwmedia]

Rumors are saying Sony is cooking one up

[@heatherlarkin]

For some reason I misread this the first time. There currently isn't, and I have no clue what's on the horizon, but I can personally hope!

[@AnthonyTadle]

man where is the RF mount? hahahah. ill just wait until sigma comes out with it... RF lenses making you go broke

[@heatherlarkin]

LOLOLOL ask Canon about that!

[@AnthonyTadle]

@@heatherlarkin I know. Rumored that sigma will come out w the RF one.. that’s why I’m holding off on getting one.. plus sigma is half the price and as good as the rf..
