Re: RF 85mm f/1.2L - compared to the EF 85mm f/1.2L II:

It's that drop in filter system that makes me think there's a long life in the EF lens line.  When I add up the amount I have spent on NDs and CPLs that drop in systems isn't quite so steep and it will get a lot cheaper once the 3rd parties start making them.   One would still need UVs as lens protectors and for weather sealing but they're a lot cheaper than CPLs.

I haven't tried, one but I imagine that the drop in VND would work a lot better with ultrawides than one at the front of the lens.
