that said - I knew this going in and bought my RP mainly for the RF 24-105 F4L which issues are not seen since shutter speeds are slower

you could see some bokeh issues with f1.2/f1.4 lenses used wide open outdoors at high ss but I'm not buying those expensive puppies for the RP

Not a whole lot of customers would want to do that I guess.

I might have wanted to, but they threw cold water on it

Sorry to hear that. Just get that RF 85mm f/1.2, use a filter, or upgrade to the R.  You won't need more than 4 stops from it to compensate for both cut off bokeh and  the max of 1/4000th. Used Rs aren't crazy expensive, that's another option. The Soft focus version is darker due to the soft focus feature, so that could be helpful too.

The filter is still the best option to my eye. Personally I like the drop in filter adapter with my EF glass. At the end of the day 1/8000th full mechanical isn't always gonna cut it either.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
