Lunch not dinner.
I actually don't get nauseous hearing/reading/seeing gross stuff. Smells might set me off though.

Oh, I like that.
Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Yeh I hear ya. I just like the look that 1.4 gives you. That shallow DOF is just so nice.
The reason why I'm thinking the 85 is because of shots like this:
Taken for a client, not my kid.
This is a 50mm f/1.4 shot. I love the shallow DOF for such a simple shot. Light coming in through the window only.
Thing is 50mm on this sort of shot tends to make the head look a bit big (and noses) fine for a little kid, but adults not so much.
Still it can wait. This job doesn't really NEED a 85 1.4 and as you said the 105 2.8 will make a pretty good portrait lens.
