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.
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.
Capture sharp images with this Canon RF 85mm lens. The USM motor delivers quick, quiet and smooth operation for a pleasant experience, while the air sphere coating helps prevent ghosting and flare for high-quality results. This Canon RF 85mm lens has a F1.2 maximum aperture for added performance in low-light conditions.

one of the best in the Rf Line
this is a great lens with very nice bokeh' the rf line if lenses is no joke. i own tne rf 85mm 1.2f rf 70-200mm 2.8 15-35mm and the rf 24to70 . now dont get me wronf the ef line L glass is still very nice glass. BUT....this is a huge but the ef 50mm 1.2f the focus is not as sharp and the af on the rf line will not hunt or search for the eye especially with the R6 body. i also have the R as my backup. now yes you could get the rf 28-70 at f/2 an dont get me wrong i love that lens but.....i sold it heres why. biggest thing the weight and footprint size takes in a bag so i went with my primes an you will never look back. so lets go.over the pros and cons. pros 1.) footprint size nice and light in weight. 2.) nice sharp image every time you capture your subject. 3.) nice soft bokeh' but not to much to where looks fake as a filter 4.) nice smooth focus ring 5 ) a great portrait lens cons 1.) wait for it um.....yeah i dont think there is any you wont be disappointed at all

Best RF lens I own!!!
Instantly became my favorite lens. I’m primarily a wedding photographer and have all the other standard wedding RF lenses. Also have the RF 50mm 1.8. This has minuscule if any CA whereas I get a lot on the 1.8. The photos are sharper than any lens I own and the backgrounds are so dreamy. If shooting outdoors daytime wide open I recommend a good 3 stop ND filter to go along with it. Don’t skimp on the filter or you’ll lose clarity. This is my favorite lens of all time. 100% worth it.
