Canon started big with their first round of RF mount lenses for their mirrorless system. The Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 L is a seriously good lens. Its versatile enough to be very sharp, but can also shoot wide open for some gorgeous and often abstract bokeh rendering. Building on the EF 50mm f/1.2, Canon corrected many of the aberrations and give us a sharper, high resolving lens. This does come with some tradeoffs - this lens is big. Its also very heavy and the price is not cheap. But if you're willing to sacrifice some of the conveniences of portability for image quality - this lens is well worth the entry price.

Its also worth noting at the time I'm filming this - there is no equivalent to this lens in any mirrorless system. Nikon only have a 50mm f/1.8 and Sony have several options - but only at f/1.8 and f/1.4. This is a unique lens with a beautiful rendering and performance.
