We review 5 portrait lenses: Nikon 85mm f/1.4 (http://sdp.io/rentn85), Nikon 105mm f/1.4 (http://sdp.io/rentn105), Sigma 85mm f1.4 (http://sdp.io/rents85), Zeiss Milvus f/1.4 (http://sdp.io/rentz85) & Rokinon 85mm f/1.4.

This week Chris and Jordan take a closer look at the Canon RF 85mm F1.2L and – no surprises here – find it to be a technically excellent optic. They also compare it with the original EF-mount 85mm F1.2L, which is no slouch for its age, to see just how far the design has advanced in the past 15 years.

In this video, I’m taking an in-depth look at the Canon EF 85mm f1.4L IS USM lens. I’m very personally invested in this review because I am currently searching and trying some different options of 85mm lenses to find out which one is going to be the best fit for me. So, I’m taking a look at how this lens performs, its image quality and whether this EF mount DSLR lens is still a good option in a world that has moved on to mirrorless cameras and mounts.
