Cons:Not very light, expensive compared to the 1.8
Opinion:I bought this 50mm new after owning other 50mm both EF and RF. Starting with the EF 50mm 1.8 STM and then moving up to the RF 50mm 1.8 STM, the jump is remarkable. Meanwhile, we move on to a lens that has much more substance, which is tropicalized, L series and which has a much better performance (needless to say) and is also F1.4, which is the right one to have a professional lens without spending a fortune on the 1.2. The lens is really sharp and lends itself excellently to both photo and video. For video (I use it on R6 II) you can also use the ring (IRIS) that is present on the barrel to change the aperture continuously without jerks. (at the moment in the photo field it can only be used on R1 and R5 II, we will see with future firmware updates). Obviously, being an L series, it also has all the trappings in terms of tropicalization and lens hood and bag are included. If you don't want to buy the more expensive, heavier, slow RF 50mm 1.2 this 1.4 I think is finally the middle solution that was missing between RF 50mm 1.8 STM which is yes more compact but also much cheaper and slower to focus. Praise for the new VCM + nano USM hybrid focusing engine that allows you to have a very fast focus in the photo field, but also soft and gradual (without focus breathing) in the video field. Another note, compared to RF14-35 which on paper weighs only 40g less, once mounted in the car it gives me the idea of being decidedly + heavy, nothing tragic is clear, but the feeling is that. It remains a decidedly promoted perspective in everything. For me grade 9/10
