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.

Still the King of Portrait Lens
This Canon RF 85mm 1.2 lens is seriously a game-changer! It's like the king of portrait lens, capturing insane detail and making every shot look professionally done. The bokeh? Absolutely dreamy, giving that perfect blurred background that makes your subject pop. It nails focus super quickly and silently, catching those awesome moments without a fuss. Even in low light, this lens is a champ, letting you snap away without losing any of that amazing quality. Yeah, it's a bit of a splurge, but man, the results speak for themselves. Every shot is just a work of art with this thing. Totally worth the investment for the epic boost in photo quality and those stunning portraits you're gonna get. If you're all about capturing those perfect moments with top-notch clarity and beauty, this lens is the way to go. It’s like having a little magic in your camera bag, ready to make every shot breathtaking.

Sharp, quick, and amazing
First thing first: this lens is not cheap. I’m using an EOS R and this lens is easily more than twice as much as my camera. But this is quality and you get what you pay for. The pictures come out crispy sharp, the backgrounds melt away because of the 1.8 aperture size, and the 85mm focal length creates a style that I’m in love with. It flattens the background, gives subjects a flattering look, and melts away everything not in focus. For picture quality, this is my absolute go to lens for everything. If it wasn’t for the size and the tight focal length, this would be everyday lens (but trust me, despite this I still try and make it my daily lens). Downsides: This is fat. Chunky. Huge. To the point where it makes me question whether it will eventually snap off the camera. Fortunately it hasn’t happened, but it is something that gets a bit heavy to handle. Because of the tight focal length and the fact that it’s a prime lens, you might not have many opportunities to use this.
