Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM $200 vs $2000 Best lens for new photographers? Lens Review

In this video, I review the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens which works on Canon’s new RF mount mirrorless system. I compare the RF 50mm 1.8 to the kit lens RF 24-105 f/4-7.1, versus the EF 50mm 1.8 STM and versus the RF 50mm 1.2L USM so that you can decide which lens is best for you! I look at the bokeh (background blur), sharpness, lens flare, STM motor, size, and how it works with the IBIS on my Canon EOS R5. I also give some of my best tips for this lens, like how to take great bokeh photos during the Christmas season, how to focus it manually, and how to make sure the autofocus motor doesn't get damaged. I think this is the best lens to buy if you are just starting out in photography and are using Canon’s new mirrorless system!
