    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022
    This is an amazing lens. The build quality of the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L is exceptional. Very expensive. It was delivered in Amazon's great "Lighter Than" a non-padded plastic bag, wow amazing. Perfect packing. Without a doubt, this great lens was enjoyed by another fortunate customer. I was super happy to return it. Wow, just great!

    5.0 out of 5 stars RF Glass is the Future
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021
    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 📷!
