Re: 85mm f1.2 L I / 85mm f1.8 v 24-105 f4 L

If you stick to your preference of shooting at F8-11, I'd stay with your zoom. The 85L is notoriously slow focusing in AF mode, the 85/1.8 is a solid performer and the original 24-105/4 is the worst amount them. I've owned all three versions of the 85L and the 85/1.4LIS is my favorite both in images and speed of focusing.
