And while the 85mm is much slower than many (but not all) of the other C@non EF lenses out there, it focuses much faster than the Noct. However, the 85mm is not as heavy as several of the "standard" zooms from Leica or C@non.

I have never tried it much myself (a bit too bulky and heavy, and slow in focusing). The very narrow depth of field on some of the shots are amazing, of course. - Phong
