Re: High ISO shots (and thoughts)

Thanks very much for taking time  to share your thoughts, experience, and photos.

I am very interested in this RF 85/2 and have some concern about the focus issues, especially with video. Have you any experience to share regarding video autofocus with this lens?

I do have the EF 85/1.8 and will probably keep it for use on my 77D if/when I purchase the RF85. In the past few years I am increasingly fond of smaller/lighter gear, and prefer avoiding use of adapted lens largely due to the added weight and size. I guess I don't  love the look of the combo as much with the adapter either.

If anyone wonders, I do want to say that the RF-EF adapter works great (I use the inexpensive Meike model) and I have experienced no issues at all with adapting lenses.

I'll give a plug for the R6 and mention that I love the ibis and amazing autofocus capabilities.
