Canon RF 45mm F1.2 STM Review: Sub-$500 f/1.2, With Caveats

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
Canon's RF 45mm F1.2 STM is a 45mm prime for RF-mount bodies, priced at $429 USD / $479 GBP — well under the $2,599 RF 50mm F1.2L USM. The review flags chromatic aberration, distortion, vignetting, and uneven bokeh as real drawbacks, and notes the $220 RF 50mm F1.8 sits just below it in the lineup. No weather sealing.
