The RF 85mm stm arrived today. Only some half hearten tests so far, but seems very good. Sharp and fast auto focus, but why does Canon always find a way to screw something up or to piss off the buyer? 1) at 850 dollars CDN, the lens hood is an option.
I get it for a 200 lens, but at 850, throw the $#@^ hood in Canon!
2)
I totally disagree with the focus limiting choices.
I think anyone who would buy this lens as a street lens would like to have something in the area of 3 feet to infinity as a walk around focus limiting choice, but it is almost all (.5 m to inf) or nothing.
I have a portrait to shoot tomorrow and will see how it does in the field with off camera flash in a single shoot through.
