Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Review

Digital Camera World has released a glowing review of the Canon RF 50mm 1.2L USM, calling it an "a monster performer".

At a glance the 50mm 1.2L USM has the following characteristics;

• RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
• Aperture Range: f/1.2 to f/16
• One UD Element, One Aspherical Element
• Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System
• Customizable Control Ring
• Rounded 10-Blade Diaphragm

Their verdict?

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 naysayer will be a believer in what Canon is trying to achieve with the system.
