A great lens for portraits
I bought this lens as a replacement for an RF85mm F2 Macro that I accidentally dropped down the stairs of my home. Therefore I knew in advance what I was buying. The lens is great for portraits which is the primary reason for me buying the original one and then buying a replacement when the first one got damaged. The focus is quick and precise and the image quality is, in my opinion, perfect.

A great imaging lens compromised by poor AF (under engineered STM drive)
The RF 85mm (on an RF body) beats my old EF f/18. in all aspects except one (AF). The images are sharp(er) across the frame even wide open; very high IQ center sharpness, comparable with L glass. The controls are well designed and the focus range selection helps to mitigate against the under-engineered, under-powered STM motor for the poorest AF on an RF lens yet. Switching from macro range to 0,5m-infinity the lens often does not even bother to move, and must be powered off/on via the camera body! The AF/MF switch is not 100% reliable. Sometimes going to MF the RP body does not respond and there is no MF focus range display in the VF. In the trade off between image quality and superb colour rendition vs. annoyingly inadequate AF, for me it's a keeper. Practice and technique can mitigate against the glaring inadequacy of the STM motor in some conditions, but if that's not for you then avoid this lens.

Lovely lens
Really sharp and colour rich. I do not use it for macro or video. It sits very nicely on my R6. So, pleased I bought it!

Learning every day I use this lens.
Coming into its own now the flowers and wildlife are becoming more alive. I tend to find I either use the full focus or 0.35m to 0.50m and learning to adjust positioning to get the best shot with R7. Very pleased with the purchase of this lens.

Very good value for money lens
I bought this to replace my EF 85mm f1.8 USM and it is a better lens in almost every way for general editorial photography and portraits. Way better close-focusing and very nicely balance both the R5 and R6. I wish that Canon included a lens hood with a lens like this but I never shoot without one if I can help it and so had to spend the extra to get one. My only real niggle is that the STM stepping motor isn’t silent and because of that I have marked the lens down to four out of five.

Great lightweight lens used for portraits

Just what I needed
I'm a nature photographer so I'm not going to spend my "big lens" money on short lenses. The 85mm F2 took my fancy and I'm pleased I took the plunge. It's great for portraits and has the added bonus of being usable for macro work too. Win-win lens!
