I'll have to change my answer on the 100mm looks pretty interesting. Not sure I will get it in the near term but I may have to pick one up at some point.

I am really anxious to hear if this is significantly better than the ef version. I love my ef.

I’m excited by this as currently use the ef 100mm L so will b getting this definitely

I have been thinking about getting the Canon RF 85mm F1.2L USM partly because of its incredible sharpness, and speed, but it doesn't have any IS. The RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro has IS with my R5 gets a possible 8 stops, and amazing macro, and an added useful 20mm extra telephoto, and SA, and its cheaper. For me its a no brainer. I am just going to wait for its first review showing picture quality. No quality captures then its no go to me.
