Opinion:He arrived to me this morning and I immediately tried it because I had been waiting for him for months. It's simply the optics that have excited me the most in all these years of photography. I divide my review for days because obviously everything can not be understood at the first impact. Part 1) The image quality is superb and the price is proportionate if we were already fine with the price of the previous version. The detachment of the floors is spectacular: the blurring is as creamy as ever. The lack of chromatic aberrations makes its blurred even more homogeneous. All this having increased the sharpness on the subject focused. The weight is slightly higher than the previous version but does not stand out and does not bother. As always in The History of Canon's 85 mm, the colors remain soft, rich in gradations and creamy as well. I'm not here talking about technicalities. I focus only on the emotional aspect that this lens conveys: it is pure poetry. It takes the best merits of the previous version and has eliminated all flaws. The focus isn't as fast as the EF f/1.4 version, but it's still gotten immensely faster than before; Even limiting the focus field above 150 cm now allows you to speed up the work a lot by avoiding long scrolls when the subject is noticeably out of focus. part 2) The construction of this optics is impeccable; some may not like plastic materials (so at least to the touch) and no more metallic than before but the construction is solid and in the hand returns a handleability and an ideal mince. The optics amaze me more every day even in the backlights; for the moment I still haven't been able to find ugly flare... seems to respond really well to light coming from every direction. Part 3) today I got to make comparisons with the old 85mm is one thing impressed me: for having the same exposure with the old I shot at 1/200 while with the new at 1/400. Part 4) Stabilization. If you come from version f/1.4 the lack you feel. Being able to take freehand portraits at 1/30 was really convenient; made it possible to take more advantage of the low ambient light. I think it also depends on the question of costs and clutter this choice but as a user I would not have regretted having it at all. UPDATE OF August 20, 2020 on POINT 4: Combined with R5 or R6 stabilization becomes a spectacle. goes from ZERO for lack on the lens to as many as 8 stops with that of the sensor... works better on this OPTICS-free optics than on lenses already equipped with IS system ... a wonder. Part 5) the dimensions: the optics are larger than the old version and very similar (at least in length) to the version f/1,4... Note, however, that the focus is internal and no body protrudes forward or stretches in any way... so the need to retract the lens before storing it in your bag also disappear.
