Thanks for all the input.
I took up the suggestion of renting, and searched the local area for a supplier. I have a shop in town who will rent me the 70-200mm f4L or the 70-200mm f2.8L lens for $45 a week. Its a pity they do not have any the primes.
But this is an excellent way to check out these lenses before I spend any more money. I will probably try and sell the 85mm once I have tried these out.
I will probably pick up a filter, used, and give that a try also.
cheers
Martin
