Which is 'almost' the same size as the 85L. but 120grams lighter. Definitely not a monster the Sigmas 1.4 is. (Thankfully).

Re: And here's the new 85mm 1.4L IS
No mention of the BR stuff ... :-\
But I'm not losing hope, just because it's not listed doesn't mean it isn't there. (I even did check on my 35mm to confirm that there is no mention of BR on the barrel, so the hope is still alive.)
Looks good otherwise. Nice overall size, and I like the 77mm filter thread
BR or not, this lens is likely an instant buy for me, though I'll wait on the price to confirm.

Re: And here's the new 85mm 1.4L IS
Image doesn't seem to be manipulated more than placing the logo as watermark over the lens.
I made a size comparison based on lined-up mounts of the 85/1.8, 85/1.2L II. Quite a large lens, but not as big as I feared.
Image shows rubber gasket around mount, so weather sealed is a pretty safe bet.

Nice. It'll be hard to know it's not the 35L ii in the dark.
If I'm hopeful of anything, I hope the lens hood isn't so bulbous. I use the Thinktank Lens changer bags and the hood was a little 'snug' when putting the lens in the bag. Small issue, but annoying all the same.

Smaller and lighter than the Sigma, that's very good news. Sigma's strategy in recent years has been to go flat out for IQ and it has resulted in some big lenses. My 150 OS macro is a case in point - extraordinary image quality but I wish was the size of the old version.

I'd love to upgrade my trusty, old 85mm f/1.8, get a little better IQ, aka wide open sharpness and especially CA. However this would be a costly upgrade and one I'd struggle to justify. Just the same I look forward to people getting their hands on this and sharing some images showing what this lens can do!

Interesting size comparison for the new 85mm f/1.4L IS. To quote Roger Cicala (which he will probably hate!):
"If you want to get great optics and eliminate aberrations, you either need lots of pieces of glass or very expensive pieces of glass ground into very expensive shapes." [https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/02/mtf-tests-for-the-sigma-bbl-the-big-beautiful-85mm-art-lens/]
So, as this lens is smaller than the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art and has IS, it is either going to be more compromised optically, or far more expensive...

I already know Canon is going to make this lens cost MORE than the Sigma, and not much less than its existing 85mm F1.2 II L, so I'm not looking to get this at all

I may be way off but I think this lens will be reasonably priced for a new L. I don't see anything in the specs that indicates this requires any exotic optics. It's a lens they should have released years ago along with an updated 50mm. The 100 2.8L macro sells for $800. I think they price it at $1299 at launch and they sell a good number of them. Not sure how much of a market there will be if they go well above $1500. Wishful thinking? Maybe.
