Abstract: The Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM is a no-compromise, large-aperture standard lens that shows off the potential of the new EOS RF lens mount. Combining a very bright maximum aperture with impressive sharpness from f/1.2, the lens also renders attractive bokeh t...
Abstract: Before I go into this, I need to make a few things transparent. I'm the type of photographer who's leaned more into my photojournalism roots recently. I don't like doing a lot of photo editing. And that's fine. If you're the type who wants something perfe...
Abstract: Canon has been hard at work the last few years when it comes to their new Mirrorless cameras and RF Mount Lenses. While the platform is only in its infancy, Canon has already produced some top-drawer lenses to mount on their R series cameras. Canon RF mou...
There isn't a huge pool of f/1.2 50mm lens to compare the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM against, and most of its competitors have a maximum aperture of f/1.4 or f/1.8. If optimum image quality is your major concern, then the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM A makes for...

The Canon RF 50mm f1.2L USM is a supremely well-corrected ‘standard' prime lens for Canon's EOS R mirrorless system. It delivers the optical goods in every regard with crisp details into the corners, minimal distortion, and very shallow depth-of-field eff...
A stunning, sharp L series lens, Customisable control ring, Fast, dependable autofocus
Costs as much as the EOS R itself, A bulky lens on a compact system, Lens IS would have been nice
