Pros: Pretty much everything. The most surprising thing is that at f/1.2 it is already a blade.

Cons: In servo AF and in poor light conditions it takes two or three seconds to hook but not always.

Opinion: I've been using it on EOS R for about two weeks now and it's pure enjoyment. Now you can photograph it in the evening or in artificial light without the fear of having out-of-focus or sharp shots. Chromatic aberration practically absent, low vignetting, construction and feeling at the top. I was afraid that it was too bulky or unbalanced instead I notice that having the maximum weight in the center does not tire much. I also use it with crop in the car 1.6 becoming an 80mm and I see no difference in results compared to full use. As far as the other thing is concerned, it is not a big problem and you get used to it straight away, and I think the delay of those two or three seconds is due to the lack of light, because it does not always happen. Ultimately we are talking about an exciting lens that makes you fall in love with photography again.

Pros: Sharpness, blurry, very limited optical defects, speed and af precision, well balanced

Cons: Cost? Loss used value, probably. Size. Lack of stabilization.

Opinion: It's a great 50 mm in all senses, for those who are sensitive to blurring the difference between an f1.2 and an f1.4 you see here (I leave my personal considerations on 50 f0.95 goals that I have tried lately... Mitakon, I look at you with contempt) and you also see the difference of blurred with the EF 50 f1.2 (this, due to or thanks to the less correct optics has quite an outlining in the light areas and therefore could result more... but has no micro-contract to f1.2). Microcontract, opening shadows and sharpness to buckets already at f1.2, optics very well correct although not perfect, FAST and precise AF. Yes it is true, it weighs and is bulky but the weight is distributed (as for the RF 85 that deserves a monument) in the middle and back of the lens making it balanced on both RP (with additional grip) and on the R, who says otherwise, well, let's forget about it. The only flaw the initial price of the new that leads to a quick devaluation, is falling in price on the used but will stabilize because it will become a classic. It lacks optical stabilization, it is true that it would have further impacted on size and weights, fortunately the R5 and R6 will have the sensor stabilized. Recommended, absolutely recommended.

Pros: sharpness, bokeh, solidity, autofocos

Cons: in my opinion nothing

Opinion: I'm an admirer of focal 50. On my canons I used all types except the small 1.8 The 50 ef 1.2 accompanied me for many years, I used it a lot.... I didn't go out without, many photos of ceremony in church seemed made with a canvas. He gave me many beautiful photos, but often I was blasphemy for the not precise af, probably also depended on me most of the time. Used at 1.2 rarely for fear of the lack of sharpness that I sometimes found even interesting. However now that I bought LUI shoot at 1.2 is mandatory. It looks like the old ef at 2.8 It's crazy, maybe too sharp not yet being used. I also had the 50 art before the 50 ef but given away out of desperation for the well-known problems. Unfortunately due to the covid all scheduled services have been cancelled and the 50 is there resting:( One last thing: I've been using 50 macros for years, that piece of paid glass used two bucks. I sold it many years ago and then bought it back a year ago. If you have a chance, take one and approach your big brother. You won't regret it.... Indeed!!

Pros: All the pros of the ART series of sigma but the colors and softness of the old 50 mm 1.2 L EF

Cons: It costs a lot and makes even what is ugly become beautiful

Opinion: Guys try it, if you tried the 24-105 rf and you were disappointed by the construction and the feeling... Well this is another thing: solid, sharp, beautiful aesthetically, on the R fits just fine. The blur is soft creamy although it remains very sharp even at 1.2 (you buy it to use it at 1.2). The autofocus? Magical, fast and soft at the same time. the dial of the focus did not make me afraid but trying it is just zero-lag. It looks mechanical from how ready she is. For lovers of the 50 mm you can not ask for better are the best 2300 euros ever spent. If you can't afford it I recommend you try it anyway and make some sacrifices because it's a must have for EOS R owners

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, build quality

Cons: Weight and price

Opinion: I had all 50 Canon EF series and this new RF is three spans above. It is beautiful to see, with the EOS R it goes perfectly and leaves a feeling of incredible solidity. Compared to the EF 50 F/1.2, it has a resounding sharpness and a really impressive autofocus speed. The blurred TA is intense and leaves a beautiful feeling of three-dimensionality. The quality of the materials, the guineas, the plastics is at its highest, and fully respects the history of Canon's L series. You want to leave it fixed on the machine. I think if it's not perfection little we miss. Weight is a flaw, but up to a point, the (exorbitant) price is definitely a problem.

Pros: Excellent sharpness

Cons: Weight and price

Opinion: I sold the fifty F 1.2 that produced an excellent blurry but I did not like the sharpness at the maximum aperture this, however, combines the blurred an excellent sharpness and a very fast focus. Nice to have in the hands, the build quality is very good and from the idea of robustness and elegance. I am very satisfied.

Pros: Pro: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Opinion: It is one of those few lenses without defects. An Optical and constructive masterpiece, the state of the art. The sharpness at F 1.2 is outstanding, it would be a crime to close the diaphragm. The Blur is a dream,... Even in the most trivial context manages to detach the subject from the background and give a three-dimensionality unmatched. The Build Quality: Sturdy, VERY WELL DONE, The lack of the stabilizer I find it as a value: lens less prone to wear and with a simpler optical pattern, therefore more quality and less obsolescence.

Pros: Very clear, very clean, very bright, very solid, very fast

Cons: Expensive, light drop at sensitive edges up to F:4

Opinion: Compared to the many 50mm of various brands that I had in thirty years of click, this monstrous Canon borders on perfection, because it combines a very high brightness to an excellent yield on the whole field framed, unlike the vast majority of other Normal ultraluminosis. It, you can use it quietly at T.A. Even if the subject was heavily decentrated in the frame. Phenomenal as it manages to maintain a very pleasant bokeh despite the high correction: it is at the level of the EF 50/1.2 L, but three spans above as sharpness and microcontrast. Even the high number of elements does not prevent a very good backlighting performance. The distortion, if there is, is unnoticeable and does not need a correction via SW The fall of light at the edges is sensitive to f:2,8 and beyond; I usually do not disturb, but in case you can activate the correction SW The focus is lightning fast, the construction is inspired by a panzer weighs almost a kg, but on the EOS R is excellently balanced, and is a pleasure to use obviously cumbersome to be a standard D, but recent projects, e.g. Sigma Art, Zeiss Otus and Milvus have become accustomed to this, if you require a high correction, timely with the current high resolution sensors. The cost is disproportionate, but if you want the best 50mm to be grafted on a Canon (and not only, in my opinion...) This is the lens to aim at. Good light
