The 80mm 1.4 is excellent and I use it often because I like the slide results, and I can get in close. It gives me the sharpness and color I like. 2. A hard choice: I would choose a 100 Macro 2.8, and 80 1.4 in that order. Forget the 90 2.0. Historically , I sold mine (90mm) and bought the 80 1.4....a decision I have never regreted! My choice of the Macro over the 80mm 1.4 lens follows from my interest in filling the frame with close ups generally...being another way to get in close without distortions.

Question #1 - How is this lens (I don't hear too much about it)? Question #2 - If you had to choose between 100f2.8macro, 90mmf2.0 and 80mmf1.4, which would you choose and why? After shooting with an M6 for many years, I want to complement the M system with a R system, and I am going about choosing which R lenses to purchase. TIA Arturo >>
