What's with the 50mm 1.4 on the body? This is Canon's newest flagship body and they put a 50mm/1.4 on it? $5000 body, $400 lens. You'd think they would have dressed it up with the 1.2L...
Maybe it's a psychological ploy to make the new camera seem more accessible and attainable. Put an 85mm 1.2L on there, and a lot more people are probably not even considering it. That's almost 7 grand. Now, if I see a lens I actually own on that new-fangled body, maybe... just maybe...
That's the same thing I was thinking. It occurred to me though that if you had something like the 85mm f/1.2L on there then you wouldn't be able to see the "Mark IV" badge (and that's whole point of the press shot).

If you put a 85 f/1.2 on there, you won't be able to see half of the camera
