The Canon EF135mm lens has been a favorite among photographers for over 25 years, and this RF version builds on that legacy by using a totally new optical design the latest optics and features to truly bring it into the future.

    The Canon RF 135 1.8 Is My New BFF

    First off, let me just say that this lens is an absolute BOKEH MONSTER! Seriously, the bokeh it produces is smoother than a baby's bottom. I've used this lens at six weddings so far and multiple engagement sessions, and let me tell you, it's outstanding. Now, I know what you might be thinking because I thought it too before purchasing: "But do I really need this lens if I already own the RF 70-200mm 2.8?" Well, my friend, let me tell you from personal experience that this lens is worth every penny. It's like having a magic wand in your camera bag that can turn even the most mundane of scenes into something extraordinary. I've been using this lens for over a month now, and I can confidently say that I will NEVER return it. I have used it at every shoot, and truth be told, my RF 70-200 2.8 has started to collect dust. It's just that good. So, if you're on the fence about whether or not to add the Canon - RF 135 1.8 to your arsenal, let me make it easy for you: DO IT. You won't regret it. Trust me, your clients will thank you. Happy shooting!

    Monster of a lens.

    Was one of my favorite EF lenses, and is even more a favorite on the RF Bodies. Absolute stunning clarity, great performance and ergonomics, and great for photo and video. Sadly a lot more expensive than the EF version, but worth it.

Canon - RF50mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Prime Lens for Use with EOS R-Series Cameras - Black
5.0(6)

The RF50mm F1.4 L VCM is part of the expanding Hybrid lens series, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent image quality. On a full frame camera this lens gives you a Standard-angle look which has for decades been the most "all-purpose" focal length for photos and videos. On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a  linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent.  The VCM works in tandem with a Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor)  on the floating focus unit for incredibly fast autofocus.  And finally, focus breathing is barely noticeable on this incredibly versatile lens, minimizing distractions for your viewer, and keeping your imagery and story as the priority.
