I compared the Sigma + Lightroom in the corner to the RF + Lightroom in the corner.

Conclusion: it's hard to compare with fields of view not being the same and - as I assume - the camera at the same distance. The contrast of the RF 85mm is better.

The difference in processing show it's possible Canon's in camera jpg engine is doing tricks with budget RF lenses to make those appear to be sharper like the DXO PL5 does, giving better contrast at the cost of bokeh quality. At the same time the RF lens has better contrast with the same processing in Lightroom, so comparing to the sigma there's an optical difference too for contrast.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
