Since I am in the middle of transitioning from DSLR’s to mirrorless, I previously used the famed Sigma 50mm Art lens for EF mount with an adapter for RF. The Sigma was my favorite lens, and when it broke I was torn on buying a new one and continuing to use the adapter, or spend trice as much but have a native mount lens. Let me tell you, this RF 50mm 1.2L is worth the money! While the Sigma lens was a tiny bit sharper in the corners, the Canon has much more pleasing bokeh, better color rendition, and amazing flare control. It also just has an indescribable “feel” to the photos that are just more pleasing compared to the Sigma. The lens is hefty and large, about the same as the Sigma with the adapter attached. The build quality is leagues better than the EF version that preceded it, and focuses much quicker. This is an expensive lens, and if you’re someone just starting out in photography, it may not be for you. This will not benefit the casual photographer who is capturing their children’s soccer game, or family gathering, and you’re much better off starting with the RF 50mm 1.8 if you really want a 50mm lens. This lens is designed with the working professional or advanced hobbyist in mind, and it fulfills the role spectacularly!

The weight, it know that 950 grams doesn’t sound that much of weight but you can really feel after 30 mins holding the camera but besides that, the lens is absolutely magnificent. Awesome depth of field, extremely sharp even at wide open f1.2, (btw all these pictures were taken in f1.2) and almost no chromatic aberration. The focus it’s lighting fast and the built quality is top notch. It really is a pinnacle of a lens. At 50mm you can shoot a lot of different things and scenarios. It’s a very must have lens for those who love making a lil bit of everything as you can see me and my pictures.

Bought this as a gift for my wife, who is a "paid hobbyist" shooting family and senior portrait shots for friends and family. She's loving it! Took a picture of our son in a baby swing the other day that I think she needs to sell to a magazine or something: Beautiful depth, crisp object, & rich natural colors.

I purchased this lens a month ago and wanted to put it to it's paces before reviewing. Shipping from Amazon was quick, with no issues. The Lens is built like a tank, looks good and feels good. for a 50mm, it's massive. The control ring is a nice addition, with just enough friction to prevent accidental adjustment. The image quality of this lens across ALL apertures is absolutely incredible! This lens puts the smackdown on EVERY 50mm Canon ever made. I must admit, I purchased this lens for my studio work. I wanted a prime lens that I could shoot full bodies with in my limited space studio. The 50mm is the perfect focal length for this. I purchased the Sigma 50mm 1.4 art and spent some days with both lenses to see which was better overall. While the Sigma is a GREAT VALUE for a prime 50 below $800, it simply can't hold a candle to the Canon 50. Corner to corner sharpness is the best I"ve seen in any 50 prime. Focusing is fast, quiet and accurate on an R5. Sharpness at 1.4 and 1.2 is the best I've ever seen in any 50 prime. Saturation and color accuracy is on par with top shelf Canon L glass. The price is the only negative here. What do you want me to say? It costs to be the boss. But rest assured, it will deliver.

I love this lens... my favorite 50 from Canon... but the materials hthey use are very flmisy for a 2 grand lens... I have seen a cracked one (when I worked at bh photo) and this as well as the 85 are shockinglike flimsy feeling compared to tank quality of the EF era... Optically it CRUSHES it... buut be aware... STOP til 2.8 if you want even corner brightness... Tack sharp happens at 2.8 in the middle at f4 at the edges. If shooting into the sun use the hood... the Flaring is strong, its sexy but you may not want the contrast loss. Best 50 ever from Canon but it would have been better if the materials were more rugged and it I THINK this lens would benefit from IS - My r5 has in body but honestly that would made it just perfect. Still it’s the best lens to buy if you can only get 1 L prime... the 85 is too tight to use as universally.

I haven't been using it as much as I want to, but it's a great lens. Best things are image quality, the insane levels of bokeh possible, the ability to get really good and fast autofocus with my Canon RP, and just the premium feel of it. The least favorite things of it for me are that it's very heavy, it makes your camera very front heavy, AND that even though Canon should know that, they have never released a tripod collar for it. A tripod collar isn't essential, it would just help not have the weight off center of mass, and normally you can fix this by using a long plate, and attaching it to your tripod just beneath the center of mass, but this lens protrudes below the bottom of the lens, so you also need something to lift the body of the camera if you need to put it on a long plate... It's kind of amazing to me that as much as I've searched, not even third party companies make a tripod collar for this lens, when it could totally use it.

I own about 10 lenses, including 4 Canon L lenses. This is my best lens by far. The rendering is sublime, the build quality is excellent, the sharpness wide open blows my mind. It's hard to put into words how good this lens is. I don't really like the 50mm focal length. I sold two other 50mm lenses I tried because the focal length, for me, is neither here nor there. 50mm isn't wide enough to be a good general purpose environmental lens, and it's not long enough to capture subjects farther away. Even with that said, this is the lens that is glued onto my camera 70% of the time. The image quality is sublime at all apertures, and it's just fun to use. I even use it sometimes for product photography over my 100mm 2.8L when I can because I just love the rendering so much. Cons are the price, and the weight. But I think it's absolutely worth the price, probably more actually. And I'm a large guy so personally the weight doesn't bother me, but I could see it being an issue for some.
