Another addition to Canon's L series, the Canon RF 50-millimeter f/1.2L UltraSonic Motor Lens, has a great walkaround focal length that is great for portraiture as well as any low light condition when it comes to images and videos. The versatile lens performs well throughout its entire aperture range, and even performs great when it is wide open. The RF 50-millimeter lens renders color, saturation, and detail at a high-quality level, making photos and videos come to life. Prime glass and optimal-standard focal length reduce any chances of distortion or vignetting. The lens even ensures backlit images still have significant image quality despite battling sunlight in the photographs.
Photographers look for both autofocus and manual focus features when looking at a lens, and the Canon RF 50-millimeter f/1.2L UltraSonic Motor Lens exceeds expectations. The autofocus feature is very fast, but also quiet, which means there is little to no noise when autofocusing during videos. When it comes to accuracy, the RF 50-millimeter's focus is sharp at every single stop. The manual focus feature has an electronic focus ring, which is well damped and feels accurate and sturdy. The front lens element retracts in when you focus, so a weatherproof filter should be purchased in order to prevent any lens damage. As a walkaround lens, the Canon RF 50-millimeter f/1.2L UltraSonic Motor Lens does not disappoint.
