Canon 7DMKII vs Canon 5D MKIV - Image quality

[Photog82]

Anywhere from 1.2 - 2.8. It may have been a bad copy, it was a rental.

The 85 is my goto lens. -- focus is slow no doubt in my mind ---

I don't know what the lighting was like when you were using the lens, but since you were used to shooting the 35 something that may have been overlooked is shutter speed.

As a general rule for crisp handheld images double the inverse of the focal length.

At 35mm you can goto 1/60 and get a clean image, with the 85 you'd need 1/160 to get an image equally as blur free.

In poor light , I often get caught shooting to slow.

Just another variable.

Congratulations on the 5Div

Shutter speed is really key - I noticed when I rented the 5Dsr I had to both bump the speed AND be very precise in my technique otherwise those tiny pixels would blur right up.
