I got rid of my Otus 85/1.4 as soon as I connected this lens to my EOS R. It's half a stop faster and has AF! Donald trump has a far narrower depth of focus than this lens. At the very least, come out with a traditional 1.4 85 or 2.8 24-70. The same young lady looks very much better at f/2 later on.

Lenses like this make me think Canon is probably again an option to invest in. Isn't it for reviewing a camera system. There is no equivalent to the RF 28-70 f/2, but you're better off with Nikon's Z 24-70 f/2.8, the best 24-70 lens...Sigma isn't yet producing its 50mm f/1.2 lens, but I would recommend the Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art, really razor sharp wide open... What's the use of an f/1.2 lens if you can't really use it wide open? when one has a sh-t monitor..........next question. Very nice Bokeh. The rendering is so smooth it's a hard lens to resist, luckily Canon's cameras make that task a lot easier and my wallet is safe for a good while yet.
