Review Summary
2026-02-26T14:10:54
I used to shoot nothing but prime lenses, and when the Canon 28-70 F/2L came out, I sold all of them except my 105mm Sigma 1.4, and that has been my work horse lens for the last half decade. I was so excited to grab this lens for run and gun engagement sessions, street photography etc, and it has not disappointed! I find that it's just about perfect from 1.8 to 3.5. 1.2 and 1.6, you start to see some pretty significant dropoffs in contrast and corner sharpness. HOWEVER... it's so LIGHT. And it's SHARP. With any lens, work within its limits and you'll be happy. This one has been super fun so far.

Really fantastic lens. Quick and smooth AF. Light weight and easy to use. Very strong vignette before lens correction in LRC or C1. Wish it came with a hood.

Amazing Lens
By ARANZA D.
Really love the lens I tested it out during a photoshoot at the beach and it's amazing !
This prime lens has the perspective of a human eye, so your photos feel immediately natural. The wide f/1.2 aperture is great for low light, helping you keep shutter speeds fast and ISO low. Because of the smart, compact design and the special aspheric lens, you get sharp images without the lens being heavy or difficult to carry.
The short back focus design works with digital correction to create a remarkably compact f/1.2 large-diameter lens.

Isolate your subject with beautiful, three-dimensional bokeh and shoot effectively even in dark environments.

Corrects aberrations for high clarity and sharpness across the frame, a first in a Canon f/1.2 lens.
A silent, magnetic detection system that makes the focusing mechanism significantly smaller and lighter.

Capture natural angles and perspectives that feel instantly relatable and authentic.
Quickly customize and adjust various lens functions without taking your eye from the viewfinder.
