Abstract: Before I go into this, I need to make a few things transparent. I'm the type of photographer who's leaned more into my photojournalism roots recently. I don't like doing a lot of photo editing. And that's fine. If you're the type who wants something perfe...
Abstract: Canon has been hard at work the last few years when it comes to their new Mirrorless cameras and RF Mount Lenses. While the platform is only in its infancy, Canon has already produced some top-drawer lenses to mount on their R series cameras. Canon RF mou...
There isn't a huge pool of f/1.2 50mm lens to compare the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM against, and most of its competitors have a maximum aperture of f/1.4 or f/1.8. If optimum image quality is your major concern, then the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM A makes for...

The Canon RF 50mm f1.2L USM is a supremely well-corrected ‘standard' prime lens for Canon's EOS R mirrorless system. It delivers the optical goods in every regard with crisp details into the corners, minimal distortion, and very shallow depth-of-field eff...

Not only was this designed to be a lust-worthy launch day lens for the EOS R, it was envisioned as a demonstration for what the new RF mount is capable of. The price tag is tear-inducing, but mount this fantastic lens on the EOS R and even the most vocal...
