I've always wondered - how can you tell which one's fault it is, the lens or the camera?

I'm guessing that you've never tried the 85/1.2. It might take a full two seconds or so for that lens to run the length of its focus range, as seven of the eight pieces of glass move for focusing. Although I feel like my different cameras can focus my 70-200/2.8IS at different speeds, there's no such difference on the 85/1.2. On one hand, I'd suggest trying the 85/1.2 sometime (local camera store or a rental), but on the other hand I'd recommend staying far, far away from it unless/until you're ready to buy it. It's a very addictive lens!
