@Athomp2002 I can’t find your quote anymore (“

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion... But the DS 85mm was NOT a good move! we didn\'t need 2 85mm f/1.2 lenses! we needed an RF 85mm f/1.2 and an RF 85mm f/1.4 with IS! coming up with a second 85mm f/1.2 with DS was unnecessary and a waste of glass!”)
To me it is a popular opinion. I bought one DS from mpb (€1900) and wanted to send it back right away as I didn’t like its artificial Gaussian wipe out neutralise everything bokeh. But because this copy is really ‘as new’ I wanted to see a positive side of it. And I kind of succeeded. Artificial is also a quality. Think about Pop Art.
MY QUESTION Do you or does somebody know about positive reviews on the DS-bokeh? Most reviews judge the DS in connection to its higher price tag. As my copy is €1.900 and a (not really ’as new’) non-DS on mpb does €2.250 in the refurbished section, the roles have been reversed. Should that alter / change also the judgement on this DS lens?
