Can the Canon RF 85mm F1.2L USM be used on the SL system? Has anyone tried it?

TIA

Both have a 20mm flange-sensor distance, so I assume not - no room for an adapter.

No, sadly.  Quite a few RF lenses I would like to adapt to L mount.  

The 70-200's, 100-500, the F11's (for their size, weight, performance and value) the amazing RF 135 1.8 the RF 50 1.2 is another but L mount has plenty of great 50mm options, the others not so much.

Sigma 70-200 f2.8 DG DN is on par with Canon RF 70-200 f2.8 based on use of both lenses (Canon now sold whereas Sigma is in frequent use).

I have both lenses, and I agree to a point but there is no getting away from the extra 300 grams weight and size of the Sigma.. and L mount as a whole not quite up to Canon tracking standards.    Sigma's advantage to me is being able to use the TC's.   Right now I still feel the need to keep both😃.
