Re: New Canon 85mm f/1.2 L Mk II Lens - some questions, please help

I like this lens too. I got my first copy several years ago. That one was marvelous on bokeh. I had a Sigma non art to compare with it. The Sigma at 1.4 can compete with it at 2.8. Its sharpness wide open was just enough, but the bokeh really shined. My second copy was not so impressive. And my current copy shines in another way, it's really sharp wide open. I also had a Sigma non art ( different copy than the one I used before) to compare with this copy, the bokeh was pretty similar. Canon maybe a bit better, I didn't really compare with different apertures.

So there are copy variances with the lenses, same to the Sigma.
