Re: Canon FD 85mm f/1.2L tested against Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
Thanks a lot! It did take some time and effort to complete the test but it was enjoyable as well. On Canon EOS-1Dx Mark II autofocus with EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is adequate - certainly in the situation you described. On Sony A7R II with Metobones MK IV it works for motionless and slow objects and when it does it really nails the focus - no FF or BF as the AF is on the chip. But I tried to photograph a friend of mine approaching me not very fast on a motorcycle and continuous AF simply could not follow him.

Although with the limited DoFs that are achievable I think I'd take AF pretty much all the time, especially if the subject was moving a little (like a model). Interesting post though and many thanks for taking the time to write it.
