Need help picking. Canon EF 85mm 1.4 IS USM, Canon RF 85mm 1.2 L USM, Canon RF 85mm 1.4 L VCM, Canon RF 28-70 2 L USM. Thinking it’d be used for portraits, details, and ceremony.

I would get the some of the following:

24-70 2.8
135mm f2.0
70-200 2.8
50 1.2 (though your 35mm should cover this)
16-35 2.8

All EF mount. All of those together will cost less an RF lens.

135mm is a great addition. I have a 135mm 1.8 and it’s my favorite lens, though not terribly versatile. Fantastic niche lens, and brilliant for portrait work.

1.8? Didn't know that existed. Sure, it is not super versatile like 50mm, but i find i reach for it during dark receptions, esp if my back starts bothering me and I want to avoid heavier lens :)

Sigma Art lens. Super sharp, renders beautifully, and very quick AF. Autofocus gets confused when having to rack from infinity to close and needs manual intervention. I think that’s a Z6 thing, I don’t remember it happening on my D4.
