Your favourite lenses for 2024 - and why

so, two things… Money to burn and an idea where a 85mm could be used :)

You do not actually have to use a 1.4 or 1.2. A lot of portraits are taken with smaller aperture cause you don’t want just the eyeball in focus. Especially when it involves a group. For sure the 85 at the same f4 as your 24-105 wide open is sharper and bit better bokeh… but not a game changer. However for what I’ve heard the sigma 85 dg dn is nice.

I think it will be just fine with what you have and maybe you are even better of using 105 and even a bit more distance.

I really like the 50 I have, mine is nice and sharp even wide open, as is my 24-105. The panny is really good for walk around and portraits. Just get that one first and use it before committing to a 85.

In the past I really liked a 90/2 on Fuji, which is about a 135/2.8 full frame. Sigma does have a 135/1.8 which is regularly on the 2nd hand market. But is a big prime….I hope they will ever make a 135/2.8 like the 100/2.8 macro.
I'd love to try that 135 but I think it weighs about as much as a 70-200 2.8 at which point you might as well get the 70-200 and have all the options
