C200: Lens options for DPAF

[puredrifting]

How is the 85mm 1.8 with DPAF?

I’m sure it isn’t as good as an STM, but just curious if it seems ok.

DPAF is okay with it. But shooting at 85mm 1.8 without IS results in a lot of microjitter. I tried shooting at a low light industry event in LA with a monopod last week and much of the footage is unusable because of the microjitter even on a monopod. So if on a tripod, it works fine. If handheld or monopod, I would use an IS lens personally.

I picked one up used at a local camera store. DPAF is actually pretty great compared to the Canon 35mm f/2 IS. It isn't very loud and seems super speedy. It would be great to have a 85mm with an IS, but that new one isn't out yet.
