I’ve got a 24-104 f4L USM which I like a lot, thinking about an 85mm prime for bigger appature for that dreamy wide open portrait shot. But I’m also thinking about more general use. I’d be interested in folks view about image quality at f8/f11 between

EF 85 f1.8 v 24-105 f4 L

EF 85f1.2 L ii v 24-105 f4 L

EF 85 f1.4 L IS USM v the 24-105

i do have an EF 50mm f1.4 that I like but it’s a bit short for portraits.

I think you will be hard pressed to spot the difference between the zoom and primes at f/8.0 and above, unless you spend all your time pixel peeping at 100% - though I am sure some owners of the f/1.2 and f/1.4 L primes will claim otherwise

Some 100% pixel peeping at the-digital-picture and my own comparison against the f/1.8
