The RF45mm F1.2 STM lens is a great option for creators who want an affordable and lightweight setup. It delivers wide-aperture performance, stunning low-light results, and soft, expressive imagery. Whether you’re taking portraits, lifestyle content, or everyday stories, it’ll give your work a polished look, even straight from the camera.
- Compatible with Canon EOS R series cameras: For use with your existing camera.
- Light and affordable: The RF45mm F1.2 STM combines a large RF mount with a short back focus and advanced digital correction. A compact, affordable lens that still delivers the stunning F1.2 performance you expect.

- Tech, Meet Optics: Canon’s first use of a PMo aspheric lens in an F1.2 design helps minimize aberrations for sharper, more accurate images. Combined with the RF mount’s large diameter and short back focus, this allows for a compact build without sacrificing optical performance.
- Step in and Focus with Confidence: The RF45mm F1.2 STM uses a gear-type STM motor paired with a magnetic detection system for smooth, precise autofocus. This keeps the lens compact and lightweight while ensuring your subject stays sharp, even in challenging lighting or fast-paced shooting.
- What You See, I See: The 45mm focal length is like seeing how you see with the naked eye, giving you a natural perspective and framing that feels just right.
- Control at Your Fingertips: A dedicated customizable control ring on the front of the lens lets you assign functions like ISO, White balance, etc. for quick adjustments during shooting.
- 45mm focal length: A versatile focal length for capturing crystal-clear shots throughout a variety of shooting situations.
- f/1.2 maximum aperture: Capture the action at indoor sporting events and other situations with less-than-ideal lighting conditions. It creates an exceptional background blur, which produces stunning images

Its light weight and compact form make it an easy carry-along companion, while the 0.5x magnification ratio and five stops of image stabilization ensure versatility. This Canon Macro lens has a control ring on its barrel for simple adjustments to settings.
Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it’s nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes from snapshots to portraits, landscapes to low-light situations and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.

With a focal length of 85 millimeters and a bright, maximum aperture of f/2 for beautiful bokeh, this versatile lens is a great choice for portraits and street photography, as well as low light scenes or during concerts, and with the addition of macro capability, even close-up and macro photography will provide stellar results. The RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM is a lightweight, affordable lens that boasts high image quality and an impressive optical image stabilization system offering up to 5 stops of shake correction ideal for low-light scenes or when recording video, and featuring Hybrid IS enables stabilization when focusing on macro, close-range subjects. Like the RF35mm F1.8 Macro IS USM, it also includes half-size macro functionality allowing for a minimum focusing distance as close as 1.15 ft. With a built-in customizable control ring and a fast 12-pin communication system, the RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM is an ideal travel companion for your portrait, macro, low-light, and video needs.

Love this lens for the flaws and character it give
I am in love with this lens as long as you understand what you are buying. This is not the 50mm f/1.2 so you can't expect the same from it. However, for the price the quality of the build, the image quality is superior to my expectations. It is my daily go to lens for most things needed in this focal range. There is some Vignetting around the edges but it is clean in the center. Personally, for the things I use this lens for with a mist/cpl filter I like the look all day long. This lens does have it own unique character to it, which I also enjoy having something that isn't a L series lens that isn't perfect but add character and uniqueness to the picture.
