Re: RF 85mm f2: Suitable as a high-quality portrait lens for the R5?

I thought the EF 100mm L was a great lens and it seems like the RF 100mm L is even better. I'd go for the 100mm since you can get 1.5:1 magnification and although you probably won't be getting that close for portraits, it's nice knowing that you can if you needed to do something like a ring shot for an engagement shoot, etc...

The RF 100mm L also has dual nano USM motors and AF will be better. The only downside is that you have to be a little further away from the subject and on that end, I do like 85mm more.
