Velvet 56 versus velvet 85

I have a velvet 56 and was thinking about getting the velvet 85. Is there a big difference in the lenses? Has anyone tried them both?

I can only speak for the 85. I wanted a lens that had outstanding bokeh. The 56 has that and the 85 also has that but from what I've seen the 56 wins the trophy. Now I still would choose the 85 because I want to use it for portraits too. Examples with people in them look great with the 85. I didn't want to be right on top of the model when taking their picture so the 85 wins in that category. For me I want to take beautiful pictures of flowers and things and shoot portraits and I think the 85 is the winner when making my purchase.

Now let the 56 users tell you how they chose the 56. I hope I helped a small bit in you decision.

With that being said I think you have all you need.
