Re: Best lens so far

This lens is completely deserving of the hype.

It lives on my R5.

Even at 1.2 it out-resolves the sensor with ease.

It’s so amazing that I’m generally disappointed with any other lens.

Pixel-level sharpness and vibrant, natural colours guaranteed.

Can’t sing its praises highly enough.

This lens is absolutely stunning.

There is a huge improvement over the 85mm 1.2 EF. The sharpness is a dream, and the Lens can even be used to capture fast moving objects in focus. This was impossible with the EF version.

Compared with the EF 85mm 1.8 the new RF 85mm 1.2 is still a little bit faster.

This is now my favorite lens to shoot with combined with Canon RF 15-35mm and Sigma Art 35mm 1.4.

First, I was a bit turned off by the plastic housing of the lens but soon realized that even with a plastic housing it’s a bit heavy and still scratch resistant and robust.

All in all, a very nice lens which is worth the hefty price tag.
