Re: Which Canon 85mm? EF f/1.4L IS or RF f/1.2L

I'm in the same boat and decided to rent the RF85 F1.2 and EF 85F1.4. However, that trip where I was going to test it all out has been cancelled and I'm not sure what the plan is.  My thought was the roughly $100 it was going to cost me would be worth it in helipng me decide.

Have you though about renting them? I think having and using them both on your camera will show you the handling characteristics. If that doesn't shed some light than surely a session review in LR or DPP will. Sure, I'd like to save the money, but if I get my monies worth I am not opposed to dropping the cash for the RF. I think most if not all will agree the RF is the better lens and will yield better images. Now the question really comes down to how much better, and what are you willing to pay for that (few?) % improvement?
