There is something special about this lens! 

the new RF is much sharper but this one has character. It's a new age vintage lens.

Outstanding video Really liked how you pay attention to the smaller details like sound, halation affects and beating timing Looking forward for more videos like this kinds and also other styles Highly glad I’ve subscribed

This is my favourite lens. Despite the imperfections it paints the world in beautiful colors and it enhances the subject. It is one of the most artisitc lenses you can find. I love your pictures BTW.

I will keep all of my EF L lenses. I like the rendering better, more natural, don't know how to express it. The sharpness of the new lenses is impressive but they do feel a bit clinical. Once they stop producing EF L lenses, you will be glad to have some in your arsenal ! .

I’ve loved this lens for years. Recently I rented an EOS R and the RF 50/1.2L for a long vacation in Europe, and while the newer lens was objectively better in every measurable way (except size and weight), I just preferred the character of the old one. It is probably my favorite lens, though the old early 1930s Carl Zeiss 5cm f/1.5 Sonnar rangefinder lens and its many copies is just as beautiful in its rendering when used properly.

Nice work... I enjoy playing with the 1.2... The flare and boheh are magical... I also enjoy the tomioka 55 f/1.4 and the takumar 50 f/1.4... these are manual lenses but u will have so much fun experimenting and playing with them...Hope u can give they a try...All 3 have a very unique and beautiful render....

Nice work, i would really like to hear more about the Fuji 35mm f1.4 you mentiond :)

You gotta do an update review of the 85 ef in this style. Actually don't otherwise I will have to buy it.

It does have a vintage old film look to me. I prefer the RF line better, but it does look unique…😊

Can’t wait for your next video 😍

It is a marmite lens. Those who love it really love it and those who don't only find fault. You're correct in saying the images look better than real life. It is plenty sharp. Only the 35mm 1.4L has better colour rendition. Love your images. You just need remote flash for your portraits.

This lens is said to be performing better with mirrorless cameras. Was not very popular with DSLR users. However, I found the 1.8 STM version inexpensive, versatile and of great quality.

I’ve got the same lens on a canon 6D mk. 2. It’s beautiful and has this old film rendering like. The colours it produces is just so different from other 50 mm.

תותח על!

Canon EF L- Series Lens are so Magical ...

Nice video! Now I want to buy this lens… but I the money is the problem

Sure an amazing lens which I could've get in the future. It's just the price which makes it almost impossible for me to purchase.

Is the shot at 0:45 using a filter or just the lens? Nice reference to gx ;)

killer

I like your reviews, just pleas less sound effects and lower the volume of the music...

Nikon 58mm 1.4g is that special lens for nikon users..

3:46 was this also on the 50mm 1.2?

Dont put the ugly filter on it🙂.

“Character” = lack of sharpness

The EF 50L is NOT a good lens. It focuses slow, it has focus issues (shifting), and it does not mitigate aberrations so good. Those who think the EF 50L is a good lens have never used the RF 50L f1.2...a far, far better lens that is everything the EF should have been, although they do share the same rendering (no, the RF is not clinical). The EF 35L is fantastic, the EF 135 too, and the EF 85L (mark II) as well...Canon messed up badly by breaking that winning cycle with the EF 50L...the worse L lense Canon has ever made (2nd bad is the EF 17-40L). The only "good" thing EF 50L fanboys can say about the EF 50L is that it has "character", a word they, themselves cannot define, nor has a cogent definition...a truly nothing word. Perhaps they will use the word "soul" too?
