If you’re a DSLR owner and wanted to have some sort of update for your own really old 85mm f1.2, then you’ll see that the Canon 85mm f1.4 L IS USM answers a whole lot of those problems that the older version had. Indeed, the implementation of image stabilization is a huge upgrade when coupled with the significantly lighter body, faster autofocus, and overall sharper optics. To be fair, the 85mm f1.2 and Canon’s f1.2 lenses were designed more for rendering a specific look on full frame and 35mm film bodies. Then you look at all the other great stuff that the Canon 85mm f1.4 L IS USM has. It’s packed with weather sealing and even when you attach it to Canon’s EOS R, you’ll reap the benefits of that.
