Aint bought but considering RF 85mm 1.4 L VCM Lens looking second hand as well.
Just need more light than my 70/200 2.8 offers for night rodeos.
Getting better access to rodeos near the chute so 85 mm will suffice.
Before anyone suggests it im gonna go practice at 85mm with zoom and see how I get on.

Plus a few international users ive been liasing with lightning fast focus due to improved motors counteracts slight/negligable loss of image quality over 1.2 lens plus price difference.

PS shifted from what ive bought and sold thread

I've had a fast 85mm on my wish list for about a year, but haven't purchased one yet. The Camera Labs guy says the newer 1.4 L VCM focuses faster than all the older models and is slightly sharper than the RF 1.2 L. I'm currently working mostly with vintage primes, but I really missed the good RF autofocus while shooting moving crowds of people in Berlin. 👁️
