Rated 5 out of 5

My new go to RF lens

The RF50mm F1.4 L VCM is by far my most Favorite RF lens. The sizing and weight is ideal for most all shooting environments and the clarity of images is just outstanding! The new streamlined design, layout of focus and control rings make for it a real pleasure to use. I have had several other Canon RF lenses and I keep finding myself wanting to use this one almost every time. I would highly recommend the RF50mm F1.4 L VCM unless you are looking for super wide angle shots or shooting closeups and longer distances.
