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

Both lenses are sharp, but the 85mm 1.4L IS has horrific out of focus purple and green fringing: https://www.lenstip.com/526.5-Lens_review-Canon_EF_85_mm_f_1.4L_IS_USM_Chromatic_and_spherical_aberration.html

The 85mm RF 1.2L has basically nothing.  It is virtually a perfect lens.

If you want the freedom to shoot at any aperture in any situation, the RF 1.2L is the lens to buy.  That's really what you're paying for.
