I'd suggest that you buy the Euro 11900 (!)1,25/75 mm Leica M lens, if you find the price of the RF 1,2/85 ridiculously lowsorry for this first comment but the price of that lens is actually ridiculous...

If you compare a 50 mm and a 85 mm , take a look at the size of the lenses, at the mechanical complexity, at the 85's optical quality, and then, and only then, allow yourself a judgment as to what is a ridiculous price...No, I have the R and the Rf50 and that lens is perfect for the price. This new lens should be the same value. No way to put more 300$ on there.

Maybe in six months time...On the Wex website it is £2799 on pre orderThat's going to work out at £2,499 in the UK
easy pass.. the lens might be great but with no IBIS & the 1.8x 4K crop on EOS-R it's not a worthy investment for me as a hybrid shooter. Canon have the balls to show it shooting video but what they omit to admit is that this lens becomes a 153mm F2 in 4K
I'm sticking to adapted EF glass until a pro body surfaces with hopefully full sensor readout for 4K video.
It's an interesting strategy for Canon. Get all the pro lenses out there before any pro body, so when the pro body comes out, there will be a full lineup of lenses (I'm pulling for decent 1.8 IS models myself...). It's a tough chicken/egg debate. We'll see if this pays off for Canon in the long run.
You'll be waiting a while longer then. If the "Pro" body is as rumored, you won't see a full readout on a 60MP sensor. You want what I want. An EOS R Cinema body with a sensor size similar to that of the Alpha 7s.
That said... I bought the EOS R and shot on it yesterday with the 85 (in 4K to an Atomos). Loved it
Is it just me, or does Canon USA need some new blood for spokesman? Rudy seems nice and all, just comes off as... Old.

Here you go, someone younger (and some nice photos too)...Is it just me, or does Canon USA need some new blood for spokesman? Rudy seems nice and all, just comes off as... Old.
I have the R as well.. the crop factor & rolling shutter in 4K is a real PITA for me personally. not to mention lack of IBIS.
I really hope they are not going for a high MP body next but rather a 1DX2 type pro mirrorless body.
As for an RF cine cam, yeah that would make sense. Just make the C200 RF.. i'll take that.
