I'm amazed with some of the detail in the photos here. I have to work harder than I was expecting with my R5 and RF85 to get very detailed shots, and it's also proven to be a bad lens for action (for me). I've tried using it for dogs and it fails pretty bad every time. Too slow to focus, and it has a very hard time finding dog's faces and eyes at 1.2. Seems to work better closed down.
Best scenario I have found for the lens is the studio with flash, though I still have to raise the sharpness considerably.

It sounds like you need to get your distances dialed in for shooting f/1.2, you are probably too close to your subject. When you shoot at the right distance you'll get what this lens is intended for, which is to shoot at f/1.2. People don't buy this lens to stop it down, that's a waste of money. Try putting your R5 on the floor and open the flip screen, @ f/1.2. If your cat or dog is willing, move it farther and farther away until you get the desired output from this lens. Literally leave the R5 on the floor to shoot (or outside on the ground), hopefully in some good light, with plenty of open space (distance) behind your subject. Eye/Face detection should work just fine. Not everything will be in perfect focus because of the shallow DOF, but when done properly enough of it appears in focus for the desired look of an f/1.2 image.
