*lol*
the samples are so ordinary

Except for two nothing to look at the DS bokeh.
Most shot at f/5.6 or smaller, the ones at f/1.2 or f/1.4 with really no BG to show bokeh.
It seems they really know what they are doing - err, don't

I know, right? Absolutely hopeless... it’s not the lens I buy for f11 building fronts

For those interested in this lens, and wanting to see a few portraits (with links to some further), you may be interested in the CPS (UK at least) story about Felicia Cisco's try out of this lens. It's obviously Canon's take, but good shots nonetheless. You should be able to link to it here: rf-85mm-f1-2l-usm-ds-first-shoot

Cheers. Stoical.

I must admit, seeing the side by side in your link, I much prefer the regular RF85, perhaps the bokeh is of higher quality, not even sure if I think that at all, but when there’s less blur I like it less .. but I have seen some headshots from the DS I really liked previously.

Not so much for me - if I'm honest, I'm having to look very close to see any real difference - and not helped (in my case) by the slightly different angles (backgrounds) and shutter speeds used. I think I just prefer the DS version shots, but I prefer each side by side differently, so I'm really not sure

But I like to see reviews and samples from others than the OEM (if good). I've never seen samples from the lens builder that didn't make them shine.
