So, I rented both lenses last week and used them both on a model shoot. I had an immediate bias the moment I saw the 85mm, because a lens has to be extremely special for me to warrant that much bulk. I think its size borders on the grotesque.
Now, having shot with both, I ended up more impressed with the rendering of the 100mm than with anything really special of the 85mm. I own the 50mm f/1.2, which I also find too large, but at least it’s a more versatile focal length than the 85mm.
I know I would never buy the 85mm but might buy the 100mm, especially since I fear Canon will introduce a crazy large 135mm to replace the beloved EF 135mm f/2. A 28mm and a 135mm are the two focal lengths I’m still waiting for in RF.
I’m wondering what the experience is of other R shooters who have tried both lenses.
