Canon RF 50mm f1.2 L Lens Review | 3 Years Later

Who doesn't love a super fast aperture? This lens was a launch lens for the RF mount so how does it hold up now? Let's be fair, it's a Canon L Lens, it has an f/1.2 aperture, it's going to be great. Let's talk about it.

great video about the rf 50 1.2, it's on my next to purchase list

[@robertbirnbach2312]

I want that lens! I have the EF version and I love the EF version but for me, the softness and blooming wide open is such a specific look that it is more of a specialty lens than the all-rounder I want my fast fifty to be.

I just ordered this as an import version . I cannot wait to use it. I have saved like a grand

When compared to 28-70 RF lens, is 50mm a better choice

[@I_am-that_guy]

In lower light and contrast situations, sometimes the lens won't focus at all for a few seconds. Most times shutting the camera off and on can help, or sometimes it randomly starts working again. EOS R firmware 1.8.0, lens firmware 1.0.5, both most current. It's an incredible lens but when this focus freeze happens it's pretty annoying.

Great video... Question - how do you get around the 1/8000 max shutter speed, when shooting wide open at F1.2? In daylight my RF50mm f1.8 often clips at 1/8000!! the only solution is to increase the aperture a stop or two f2.8 f3.2 etc... But I don't want to! If I lower the iso to 50 - it just blows out the highlights, looks yuk! (Street photography on an R6 with face/eye tracking is so easy, an amazing camera for speed/accuracy, except for the 1/8000 limit!!!).
On my Fujifilm X-T3 it can shoot up to 1/32,000 - I wish canon had this feature...

[@delightimages]

You can put a ND filter on the lens which darkens the whole scene

[@quagmire321able]

I shoot with the RF 85mm 1.2, it makes a rather annoying clicking noise when focusing during video. Does the 50 1.2 do the same thing?

[@kifley19]

Yup. All their L primes do which is annoying for the price they charge. The sony ones are silent.

[@tinysteelorchestra]

Nice video, but personally I'd rather see you show us examples of why the bokeh is nice rather than just telling us it is.

[@Lunstagramer]

‌
Is the AF-C noisy in video ?
‌

[@troycuenca]

Not all, check Fuji X series.

[@AustinOmoria]

I tried to fit it on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV it didn't fit. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@grantzke]

it wont fit on any eos DSLRs. only canon R series

[@VegasHyruler]

Did you.. test this with that god-forsaken filter on it?
