So I ended up selling off my EF 85/1.2L II just this pass week and have considered replacing it with this for my 5D Mark IV specifically because it is image stabilized.
Do you think its sharp enough wide open though?

And also important. How is the AF speed of this lens?

My copy of the 85mm f/1.4L is very sharp wide open and AF is very fast and accurate even in low light and backlit situations.

Yes its a excellent lens, im finding that and worth every penny. i celebrate with some Irish cream.
