Practice required with this amazing RF lens

This lens is amazingly sharp hand-held, if you apply the right settings.  I use this lens with high shutter speeds (100+ with appropriate ISO for a good exposure).  It takes practice so if you own it and aiming for a rock solid, tack sharp image - practice, practice, practice.

No problem at all here, but then I am used to heavy lenses and actually I think a heavy lens is easier to stabilise.

Same goes for my rf 85 f1.2, no problem handholding at slow shutter speeds.

Or, use it on a body with IBIS.
