vs Samyang 85mm
3

For me the interesting comparison is between the new RF 85 and the Samyang 85mm

Canon vs Samyang

f2 vs f1.4

$599 vs $699 (although Sony mount is perpetually on sale for $599)

IS vs none

.5x vs .11x magnification

500 vs 582g

91mm vs 97.5mm long

external vs internal focus

non-sealed vs weather sealed

Size and weight difference is negligible. Price will likely settle into the same range. So we are down to a f1.4, internal AF and sealing vs IS and 1:2 macro.
