I don't see a new 85/1.4 costing less than $1k.
With the exception of the 50/1.4, all of Canon's other 1.4s: 24/1.4, 35/1.4 cost $1100, the 85/1.2 (an extra 1/2 stop) costs $1800
Sony's 35/1.4 costs $1350, 85/1.4 $1385.
The market's just not there for fast primes past the 50s, which is where the industry "standard field of view" for 35mm came from. Besides, I've also heard (probably not true) that Nikon quit making the 24/1.4 because they were selling only 6 a month worldwide, so it wasn't profitable for them. (That can explain why they made a 2.8 zoom that is better than the prime at the wide end).
Hopefully they'll release new fast primes in the next 9-12 months. Not holding my breath though; even Canon can't figure it out with an APS-C all-in-one zoom.
