Wedding photographers will now be able to shoot wedding rings with this portrait lens without carrying a dedicated macro lens. To me that seems very convenient.

I predict this lens will be used by zero professional wedding photographers.\

I predict that your prediction will be completely wrong. I have shot weddings professionally with EF 85mm f1.8 which I guess is much inferior optically compared to this lens. Where I live, EF 85mm f1.8 is one of the most used wedding lens among professional wedding photographers.  What is the basis of your prediction? F2 is not enough for professional wedding shots? Or this lens is so inferior that the clients will reject the shots?
