Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM announced
#12
I don't understand any complaints about the price of this lens which makes the camera body behind looking like a tiny spacecraft behind the moon. To me it's worth this price.

$2700 vs. $2200 for a Nikon 105/1.4 with all it's weaknesses? Or $5000 for a manual focus Zeiss? I'd go for the Canon if they make one with Nikon mount. Heavy? Maybe, but well balanced as it appears. The Sigma 85 Art is as heavy but much longer. That's what Nikon lacks. What good for is the better sensor or camera body (a matter of taste, I'd say) if the lenses come to market as slow as the Berlin airport?

I wonder how much Canon is relying on software correction? Given the coatings and size of glass, I'd suspect it's close to zero in distortion - and for the vignetting with such a fast lens I couldn't care less.
