Re: Canon 85mm 1.2 L ii or Canon 85mm 1.4L

First off, great step to get a 1DxII, its such a workhorse. If I would be in your shoes, and need AF, aving owned the 1.2 (I and II) I totally understand, I would not hesitate to get the 1.4. Save the weight, makes for easier shooting with less fatigue and the results will be the same .

I never understood why Canon had to make a 1.2, my only conclusion was to be one better than Nikon, who did very well with here 1.4. So Canon is finally coming around.

Personally I went Otus and the 1/3 less light didn't made a difference, I rarely shoot 85mm under 5.6/8, mostly 11, unless I have no light or for effect.
