Which prime lens should I buy for my Nikon D850?

Question

My main zoom just died and I have a huge wedding shoot this Saturday so I'm panicking. Stuck between the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G or the Sigma 85mm Art. I have a $900 budget and need to order by tonight. Which one actually keeps up with the D850 sensor for moving subjects?

Building on the earlier suggestion, I unfortunately found the Sigma Art autofocus way too inconsistent for fast-paced wedding shots. Its not as reliable as I expected for the price. Instead, look at the Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD if you can find it. It handles the D850 resolution surprisingly well.Double check your AF Fine Tune settings immediately.Keep your shutter speed high because 85mm shows every shake. Youll do fine!

Honestly, go for the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art! Its crazy sharp on the D850 and kills it for weddings. Definitely worth the extra weight, trust me!
