SEL85F18 vs SEL85F14GM

[ph_LDA]

It's a tedious question, I know, but I'd like to listen to different bells about this

 

I'm going to buy a new camera to make it my first camera for work (mostly portraits)

 

I'm divided betweeen

A7IIs + SEL85F14GM

vs

A7III + SEL85F18

 

 

What would you pick?

I haven't used, or even touched, the A7ii (yet) so I can't comment on it.

As part of my kit I purchased the A7iii and the 85 1.8. But I did test the GM as well as the 1.8 on the camera (the 135 GM too) as I really wasn't sure which 'headshot' lens I wanted.  In my eyes there was no discernible difference in AF speed, image quality or sharpness between the two 85's. I'm sure there has to be for over double the price, but I honestly couldn't see it. The bokeh is pleasing on both too, but that's subjective.  Mind you, everything I'm saying is subjective isn't it.

Plus that eye AF on the iii.

Haven't helped at all have I. Sorry.
