Re: RF 85mm f/1.2L USM... a refined gem from Canon (REVIEW)

I've got mine recently for my R5. I sold my aging 1D X and EF 85mm f/1.2L II to get a sizable discount on it.

I've used it a bit an my impressions match your review

  • I feel like I can finally use 1.2! With the old setup it was way too hit and miss
  • quality of the lens (construction) is great
  • quality of the images is superb
  • I do feel it very large and heavy on the R5. A bit better now that I got the grip
  • Price, size and weight are pretty much the only advantages left to the older EF equivalent in my mind
