The rumors of its faulty focusing are greatly exaggerated.
yet one shall wish Canon stop peddling external focusing designs with STM motors ...
Maybe one shall wish this. Many others are quite happy with the focusing design.
From my personal use of the RF 85mm 2.0 at an ice skating rink, this is not the lens for sports. AF was inconsistent for quickly moving objects, even at a distance.
That's my experience as well. It's not only about speed. It's also about loosing the subject on occasions other lenses wouldn't loose the subject for other reasons than AF speed, and also about failing to determine which direction it should move to find focus again.
Dustin Abbot said something about AF, and even Christopher Frost nor being the most critical reviewer when it comes to AF. It's not at RF level. It's below EF level.
it's an stm lens not a sports lens
EF 100/2 or EF 85/1.8 are not sports lens either... there is no need to use such stm motors at all... this is first gen mirrorless lens design... something that Panasonic did with m43 20/1.7 which was one of the first two dSLM AF prime lenses in world btw (other one was a normal focusing 45/2.8 macro)... Panasonic can be excused - their dSLMs were slowpoking CDAF machines back then... Canon excused can be not.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
