Canon RF 45mm f/1.2

Pros

• Sure, in technical specifics it's flawed, but for getting the shot, especially in low light, it's an absolute dream, and a bargain. Highly, highly rate it.
• I love mine.
• Finally decided to go for the new 45mm f1.2 and just wow. I was hesitant with all of the mixed reviews I’ve been seeing but it truly blew me away. I wouldn’t have been able to get half these shots at f2.8 or even f1.8. Sure it does have...
• As a hobbyist, after getting this lens, I sold my 24-70 f2.8 L. That lens is great for working pros, but having this single light weight lens that is right in the middle and shoots brighter is plenty fine, and stopped down to it is plent...
• Absolutely love this thing. Despite its known flaws, it is so fun to shoot with and has been glued to my R8 since it arrived.

• Don’t leave it out in the sun, the aperture will melt.
• Yeah definitely noticeable. The distortion worked for a few shots but found myself having to correct it on most photos.
• A real flaw is loca. Don’t use it against bright sky or chrome and you’re fine.
• Some reviewers found out that there is focus shift with apertures smaller than f/1.2, but honestly, I bought that lens to take pictures at exactly that aperture.
