Perfect bit of kit
What can I honestly say a nifty fifty is essential for any camra kir yes there is the 1.2 version which is extreamly pricy but if your like me and do photography as a hobby and to escape reality then this 1.8 is just perfect for the bokah effect as well lovely piece of kit

Great glass, slightly disappointing action ...
I bought this to replace the equivalent lens in the EF mounting which had gotten a little tired. The optics were as superb as the older version - if anything slightly better, but the action was disappointing. I'd expected the same kind of performance out of the autofocus as for the other native Canon rf lens I've got - the little 18-45, which is lightning fast and silent. This is neither and that was a disappointment, as I hope to use it for video. I did actually return it thinking it was faulty but once they'd explained and we'd looked at another new RF 50 1.8, could see the differences in construction. It's still a great lens, though.

Phenomenal piece of kit, for any serious artist
Absolutely love this lense, and the price tag makes it a brilliant choice all round. As a tattoo artist/photographer It performs amazingly well, giving me the ability to take incredible pictures in virtually any situation. Extremely impressive.

My latest nifty fifty. RF lens
I bought this lens to replace one that I used when I owned a Canon DSLR. I tend to use this size of lens for evening low light street and architecture photography. I have only owned it for a month and haven't used it much. I did the usual testing of it when I first got it and I was very impressed with the results. I am looking forward to shorter days so that I can use it more.
