Canon's RF 85mm f/1.2L USM is the company's premium portrait lens, practically begging to be shot wide open for natural light portraits, where its f/1.2 aperture can turn backgrounds into nothing but amorphous blurs of light and color. This awesome video shows the sort of shots you can get with it.
Coming to you from Irene Rudnyk, this great video follows her as she shoots portraits with the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens. Of course, if you buy such a lens, you are likely buying it to shoot at f/1.2, which exactly what Rudnyk does here, and you can see just how fantastic of a lens it really is. I have had the EF version of the lens for almost a decade now, and though it is finicky, not particularly sharp wide open, and it misses focus a lot, I still love it, simply because the images at f/1.2 are magical. Canon seems to have solved all the aforementioned problems in the RF version, making it one of the best portrait lenses you can get nowadays. On top of that, on a mirrorless camera, you get the benefit of eye autofocus, making working at those extremely wide apertures quite a bit easier. Check out the video above to see it in action.
For a wildlife shooter it wouldn't get much use at all but I look at it all the time and want it, just something about it.
Is there any wide angle canon RF lens with variable focal length.
1. RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM
2. RF 15–35mm F2.8 L IS USM
3. RF 24–240mm F4–6.3 IS USM
I was originally sticking with Canon for a while just to one day get the 85mm 1.2 but have since switched to Fuji. The EF version was pretty expensive and now the RF version just seems insane! Great glass don't get me wrong but for that price, size and weight...
