Thanks for the link.  It was worth a browse.  If you are shooting Canon
digital the choice would be the 85 1.2 as it is less expensive, offers
incredible options at 1.2 and 3200 ISO while being very good indeed
optically.  For those of us using film, the real choice would be the 85
Sonnar or the 75 Summicron.  Final decision would be based on size, feel,
and whether you need a little more reach.

Amazing that in less than a decade the phenomenal performance of the 90 APO
would be challenged.  Good times indeed for photographers.
