    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon RF
    • Lens Type: Standard Prime
    • Minimum Focal Length: 45 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)

    • Maximum Aperture: f/1.2 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

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.
  • Fastest Wide Open: The wide f/1.2 aperture creates stunning bokeh, making subjects pop with a three-dimensional effect. And thanks to the fast aperture, it shines in low light, allowing you to capture action at faster shutter speeds.
  • 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

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

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.

Canon - RF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

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.
