Thanks guys for the lengthy writeup.

It sounds like the 85mm RF is worth the upgrade price. Especially if I want to use it for studio work - the improved AF and optics will make a real world difference.

"The difference in performance and optical quality (image quality) on the RF 85mm lens makes it the hands-down best choice of the two. Yes, you can get away with the EF version but you'll soon consider it a slow lens. It won't be an issue unless you're shooting moving subject though."

"If you are using either of these lenses for portraits you may not feel a need to "upgrade" to the RF versions at all. The EF lenses will continue to perform for you and your images will look as they did coming from a DSLR."

Ive used both the EF and RF versions of these lenses for my professional portrait work in and out of studio. Save a ton of money and get used EF versions is my advice.
