Canon RF 85mm Shootout: f/1.2 vs f/1.4 vs f/2 — Who Wins?

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
The RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM is the real question mark here — Canon's newest entry sits between the wallet-friendly f/2 Macro and the flagship f/1.2L, and whether it justifies the premium over either depends entirely on whether you need that VCM autofocus speed for video or fast-moving portrait work. If you're a stills shooter doing weddings or headshots, the f/2 Macro IS remains the quietly brilliant value pick most people overlook.
