i bought it for 85mm for ~5400 and 24-70 for ~5800
filter 72mm ~250 77mm ~290
p.s: 85mm and 135mm has the same price tag...
i actually tested both the lens on FF...the distance is not that great of a diff...i still would prefer aperture over distance...that is my take..
furthermore i was planning to get 24-70...so i figure better that i get 1 plannar and 1 sonnar glass rather than both the same...
lol..ironically..the plannar is brighter than the suposingly bright sonnar lenses..lol

Just to share a little on this as I tag along quite often with a friend of mine who dump his full time job to do photography (mainly wedding). Some notable items to be in the contract.
The few main things are which I can remember now.
1. Package Price (booking fee which is non refundable, in case couple FFK you.)
We all know what is this, but state your booking fee if you practice them.
2. Who is the customer (very important)
Why this is a must? Normally your main customer is the bride, and at times the bride mother (quite rare) will come complaint to her daughter that why the photographer took less photo of her. Then at least you can protect yourself that the bride pay you and that's the legal customer, not the mother.
3. Rights to publish the photos (importance depends on you)
We all know what is this.
4. Couple to do list and wishlist in photograph (very important)
You as a photographer knows what to take, e.g. Wedding Veil, Dress, Ring, Flower, and etc. At times you won't know some additional things which is important to the couple but you might miss it. So you can protect yourself that if an important to the client was not captured in the wedding, and it's not in the customer to do list and wish list, then consider we did our job according to contract.
5. Exclusive rights that you're the main photographer of the event (very important)
You are hired as a main photographer to do the work, and if some of their relative in a way disrupt our work (e.g. block your view and etc). You are safe based on this contract. So with this in the clause, get the couple to assign one people he trust to work with you. If someone disturb your shot, that person must usher them away.
These are the extra things I learn when I attended Jerry Ghionis Wedding seminar.
6. Purchase of photography service must come with wedding album
Can earn extra.
7. Customer will not have full size JPEG images
Makes your photo more valuable.
8. Time of service (from what time to what time), up to individual
Makes your service more valuable, if overtime charge extra.
9. Print of photos must go through Photographer unless Customer bought the rights
Makes your photo more valuable.
Those above are listed out but you might want to elaborate to your customer before they sign the contract.
i think no7 n no9 applies more on pre wedding??usually wedding day we would give "most" of our shots in jpeg right?even tho there is only a number of them were edited..i never give full size as in 6xxx px...usually i resize everything to 1920px..just my habit..

or wait for a450?
, would a 50mm lens f1.4 be much much better or f1.8 would be adequate.... 
(and why is 85mm better?)
