    I'm so glad you say you rarely shoot wide open. I have found it difficult too to nail focus consistently wide open and the depth of field is so shallow.

    I use my 85/1.2 for artistic shots and almost only at 1.2. For other uses, I have 85/1.8 which is awesome lens too, and relatively cheap.

I have an R6 and debating a fast lens in this focal length for the sports I shoot. Just curious if you tried this older lens on the new RF bodies? Thanks

      They didn't put IS into the RF f/1.2 L series lenses because it effects the image quality. The top of the line RF series is about uncompromising image quality. If you want to get IS lenses, buy zooms or buy the RF 85mm f/1.8 with IS that's coming out later this year.

    This has given me something to think about. I have the 1.2 and it’s exactly as you described it in low light. With IBIS coming in the future Canon R5, i wonder how the non-stabilized lenses will perform on that platform. This will determine whether to keep shooting cheaper EF glass or pay a damn fortune for the RF glass.

      @@mavfan1 lol, what does that even mean? If you are buying up RF L series prime lenses it's not because you're an early adopter, it's because those are the best auto-focus prime lenses ever built. It's not exactly a secret that both the 50mm 1.8 (macro) IS and 85mm 1.8 IS are coming out later this year, to go along with the 35mm 1.8. I'm personally going all in on the RF system. I am already waiting for next year when Native wide angle and super-telephoto prime lenses will be out for the RF system, along with a bunch of native RF lenses from Sigma and God knows who else. Probably have a few lines of native cine lenses coming out soon as well. The EF system is finished, Canon isn't even working on any new lenses for it. Sony and Nikon are not even close to touching the garment of Canon. Basically, even Red Komodo is going to use the RF lens mount. It's obviously the future.

    Great video Vanessa. I had that lens and loved it, but then sold it when I bought the EOS R. I’m glad that you mentioned the Rf 85 1.2, but I wish that you would’ve spoken more about it since, from what I’m hearing, it’s kind of the future in lenses, although I think DSLRs will be around for a LONG time! Maybe you can do a future video on the Rf version?

    Trying to download Vanessa’s FREE Posing Inspiration Guide, the download link takes me to a page which requires me to enter my name and e-mail. After doing this, I'm taken to a page that says it's on the way. The e-mail I received has a link that says "Yes, subscribe me to this list" but no Posing Inspiration Guide. Nothing mentions a subscription is necessary to receive the guide; this is very misleading. I thought the video was very informative but disappointed with trying to get the guide.

    I have it and I love it ! I use it for concerts, weddings, dogshows, portraits etc … The image stabilisation is amazing ! I can even take sharp pics handheld at 1/10th of a second and I have a shaky hand !!!! I love my Canon 135 mm f2 too but I need short shutterspeeds (1/320th of a second or less ) because of the lack of image stabilisation. On the other hand the Canon 85 mm f1.8 is much more value for money than the Canon 85 mm f1.2 or f1.4
