What are people's experience with AF on 85mm f1.2?

In reply to Picturenaut, 9 months ago

I have the 85mm 1.2 MkI and its a bit hit and miss at f1.2 using centre point on both 5D MkII and MkIII. The 5D MkIII is an improvement but still 1/3 doesn't hit the spot.

I've no regrets with the II version. :)	Apewithacamera	9 months ago
