Re: Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM Lens Review

Glad I ordered my F/1.4L just before reading your review, or I might have dithered, and lost the purchase of a well priced ex-demo version of the EF 84 F/1.4L IS USM.

I've tried it on my 5D Mk II and on my 1D Mk III, but so far I'm only really happy with it on my 7D Mk II - where focusing does seem very reliable.  Tomorrow I will run more trials on my 5D MkII body.   I also have the 85 F/1.8 (my first purchase of an EF prime back in 1995...) and the 85 F/1.2L Mk II, which has been very sharp indeed when focused via Live View.
