Hi all,
I’ve been reading reviews on these lenses lately and I’d also like to hear thoughts and impressions from those folks here with the RF 85mm f2 STM, especially if you happen to be using it with an EOS RP. Being an EF/5D DSLR user mostly, I’ve started to dip a couple of toes in the MILC pool with the RP and RF 35mm 1.8, which is a lens I wasn’t initially crazy about, but has grown on me with time and I’ve come to really like it despite its flaws. A step above the M6/22mm combo which is nice, and I’ve found it to be a good complement to the larger DSLR setup. After some time, I’m thinking about expanding the native RF collection, perhaps starting with the 85mm. On paper, this would seem like a good complement to the 35, but I can’t really speak to the handling or how the IQ holds up, which is where I wanted to get some insight. Also, what about the RF 50 1.8 - is it worth replacing the EF version? Admittedly I rarely use it though. How does it compare to, say, the M6/32 1.4? I’m admittedly a bit frustrated at the lack of IS on the 50 however, no stabilization on the RP.
So the general theme here is - I’m placing a greater emphasis on size…I’d like to keep the R side of things smaller for now. Have the 35 1.8 as my solo RF lens and considering adding the 85 f2, and *perhaps* the 50 1.8, if it makes sense. Seeking thoughts from those that have those lenses and can speak to their handling, particularly on the RP. Thanks in advance!
