Amen! Two of my all time favorite lenses are the 35mm f/1.4L II and 85mm 1.4L IS. The fact that I can use on my 5DSR, Fuji GFX 50s II, or R5, for paid portrait work, landscapes, or video work is a remarkable value. I can't imagine dropping $2k+ on a new RF 85mm that would only work on the R5.

I hadn't heard that about the R3 vs. R, that's cool. I believe it too, the new AA filter delivers amazingly clear results. I own both R5 and 5DSR, so naturally the first thing I did was compare the two! I get better results on the R5 95% of the time because of the better technology, but still...

The 5DS/5DSR having ~10% more pixels makes a very small and subtle difference in resolution, but it is offset by the drastically better R5 performance in nearly every other way (IBIS, cleaner high ISO, FPS, autofocus, size, etc). When I compare the two side by side (I regularly use both of...

while agree the R5 is excellent, this is not true. 5DSR still captures more fine detail despite the lower DR

Corp finance is my day job, so I just read through their Q1 release to see if I could add any insights... there definitely is more to the story, I'm sure! While the new R bodies and RF lenses definitely helped the top line revenue, it seems like the biggest reason for the jump in operating...

Same as a lot of the others on here, the 85mm f/1.4 is one of my favorites. I don't think I would change even if an RF version came out because it's so good.

Exactly. I was fairly fortunate to start getting more into photography as the great RF migration began, so nearly all of my lenses were refurbs or gently used for half off. I can't believe the prices people are paying for the RFs new!

Just a few miles up the road, I came across this view of the fog resting in the valley below. Had to pull over for a pano!

Thanks!

First time seeing freezing fog in Utah. Shot on the R + 100-400 II.

I can tell based on looking at the water that the bird is dead center in the plane of focus, so it does seem like something might be off with the lens elements. It's definitely unacceptably soft, even for a heavy crop. Was it shot with or without IBIS? Wonder if that is introducing blur somehow.

I'd be extremely happy with something similar to the R with 60+mp, no AA, and a stop improved DR. No high end video, etc. Just pure high res (y)

Same thing happened to Garmin last week. These seem to be happening more and more recently..

Why not just adapt the 85 if it's working so well?

yes

Exactly. I went from the 6D2 to the R and all my lenses work better with the adapter than before without. (y)

RP is well on its way to 800

Must have been one sturdy tripod!

Hope there's a seat for me too! :unsure:

I had the 2.8 and sold it for the f/4 ii and can confirm, the sharpness is unreal. As I do landscapes primarily and have the 135/2 for portraits, the weight savings and improved IQ makes the f/4 a must have over the 2.8 for long hikes and landscape shots! The $ savings is nice too (y)
