Canon 50mm f1.2 R Review: AMAZING, but one BIG problem…

Canon 50mm f/1.2R ($2,300): http://sdp.io/C50R
Canon EOS R ($2,300): http://sdp.io/R
I compare the Canon 50mm f/1.2 R vs the Canon 50mm f/1.4 (with the EOS adapter) and Fuji 56mm f/1.2 (on an X-T3).

The 50mm lens is “normal” on full-frame cameras, providing an angle of view roughly equivalent to the human eye. Fast, normal primes are standard in photographer’s bags because they’re versatile and can blur the background, turning distractions into bokeh.

The Canon 50mm f/1.2 R only works with the EOS R camera, which means not many of you will actually buy it… especially since the lens is huge and expensive, mostly pros will be interested in it, but the EOS R body is definitely targeting consumers. The 50mm f/1.2 R will make more sense when Canon releases their pro mirrorless bodies, which we hope to see in the first half of 2019.
