Hi and welcome,
I have this combo, play with them few times, like the ideas, also put the Canon 500D on the 85/1.4 too, great to have and use them in macro shooting instead of macro lenses, but I left the Canon 500D aside due to many toys I have around + 4 macro lenses in my hands, so I can't tell you much.

Welcome Marc,
I don't have this set up yet but I googled this combo and came up with

Hope this helps
