Sony knocks it out of the DxOMark park with their 85/1.4 lens, which has an only slightly crazy price of $1,800: review with a score of 49. Worth reading just to see what Sony can do with their own designers (presumably) and under their own brand name rather than in partnership with Zeiss. Only about 1% as exciting as the iPhone 7, presumably, despite the vastly superior image quality. I guess that is fair considering that you’re not going to get this lens into your pocket.

It is also pointlessly expensive and gigantic for what the vast majority of people are likely to do. How often does one need to shoot 85mm at 1.4? Ridiculous. More 1.8 or 2.0, please.
