I had both. I kept the 100 SF and sold the 85mm the day I tried both on the A850 because that focal distance works better for me, specially for portraits. Then, it is smaller and lighter, easier to carry on my bag. The SF is, at "0" and f2.8, as sharp or sharper than the 85mm at 2.8.
I understand DK didn't liked the 100 SF on FF, for me it works perfectly.

Hey no, I love the 100mm SF. I just do not have much use for it, I am keeping it. It is a unique lens which would cost £800+ to make today. And it's amazingly sharp when SF is not used.
