But mine says Canon on it. I think.

If you want to fully accessorize, you should get one of those lenses with a red ring 😁.

To the prior question about the 85. I love it for the portraits and the 1/2 macro. You could get 2 far more costly lenses and get better results for each of those things, but in terms of bang for the buck in RF glass, it ranks pretty high in my mind.

What's money if you can afford to pay $50 for $1 worth of plastic?

Seriously, the RF85 is good enough optically for me. The weakest point is the focus speed, but this should not be an issue for portraits. I also which it was a true macro for when I need one.

The RF85F2 is significantly sharper and with better contrast than the EF85f2.8 and the RF50f1.8 in my tests with the RP camera: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64792057
