I already had a JCC hood for my RF24-240 that seemed to work well.

I just received the JCC hood for the RF85F2 and it seems to fit well. It behaves just like the hood of my RF L lenses complete with the little release pin. It cost about $13 on Amazon vs. $49 for the Canon ET-77. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TW99PDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Had not seen any good ones for the 50/1.8 or 35/1.8. Will look again since its been three months since I last checked them out.

How do you like your 85mm f/2 ?

I would say the RF85F2 is just OK.  It has fairly good image quality, but I agree with others that say the focus can be slow even fails at times, at least on my RP. I have not tried it on my R5. I had some "ill-gotten gains in the stock market" and decided to get the RF24-70f2.8 and then the R5. I suspect I am not going to use the RF85f2 much except maybe for the occasional portrait and probably would not have bought it if I knew I was going to get the RF24-70f2.8 so soon.
