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

I like the EF 85 F1.4 IS.

The images are outstanding.  How much better can it really get.

IS is useful for static subjects.

It also works perfectly on my DSLR, and if I get an M, it will work perfectly on it too.

The thinner barrel makes for better handling, IMO.

Half the weight.

Half the price.

There are so many things I want more than an R5.  I don't shoot a lot of action, so the R is almost a perfect camera for me, particularly with stabilized lenses or a tripod.
