I have the same impression. I would say that the 80 has a "softer effect" at wide open which may be effective in portraits. From 2.8, I can tell little difference. Overall, the two lenses have similar fingerprints and differ from a Minolta 85/1.4, another short telephoto lens I like. Leicalement, Mikiro Strasbourg
