Since I am in the middle of transitioning from DSLR’s to mirrorless, I previously used the famed Sigma 50mm Art lens for EF mount with an adapter for RF. The Sigma was my favorite lens, and when it broke I was torn on buying a new one and continuing to use the adapter, or spend trice as much but have a native mount lens. Let me tell you, this RF 50mm 1.2L is worth the money! While the Sigma lens was a tiny bit sharper in the corners, the Canon has much more pleasing bokeh, better color rendition, and amazing flare control. It also just has an indescribable “feel” to the photos that are just more pleasing compared to the Sigma. The lens is hefty and large, about the same as the Sigma with the adapter attached. The build quality is leagues better than the EF version that preceded it, and focuses much quicker.
This is an expensive lens, and if you’re someone just starting out in photography, it may not be for you. This will not benefit the casual photographer who is capturing their children’s soccer game, or family gathering, and you’re much better off starting with the RF 50mm 1.8 if you really want a 50mm lens.
This lens is designed with the working professional or advanced hobbyist in mind, and it fulfills the role spectacularly!

My absolutely favorite portrait lens
I love this lens so much. The micro contrast, the sharpness, the controlled CA. Just a beautiful lens that produces incredible results. You won’t regret getting this. Works for Astro and landscape too. Especially if you stitch together for a pano. Draws attention for sure but the images are leagues better than my nifty fifty

All I can say is WOW! I've had this lens for about a year now and figured I'd finally write a review. I'll start with the cons which are only two; it's big and it's expensive. Those are the cons. As far as the pros it's darn near optically perfect! Little to no chromatic aberration or distortion and the bokeh is magnificent. The transition between the in focus and out of focus areas is insane. Especially considering how sharp this lens is. And it is sharp! Even at 1.2!!! I'm using it on the EOS R and it performs even better on the R6 and R5 given those bodies have IBIS. I've attached some self portraits I've taken with the EOS R, tripod and self timer so you can see a few images. If you have any questions you can hit me up on IG @_seangregory
Ultimately, if you can handle the price or are in the Canon ecosystem thinking about upgrading from DSLR to mirrorless and/or want the best image quality this is it hands down! Happy shooting my friends 📷!
