Canon 50Mm F 1.2 Lens

[62 mm (Front)] I have both the Rokinon 35mm f/1.2 and the 50mm f/1.2 for my Canon M5. Both lenses are rockstars. While they require manual adjustment of the aperture and focus, I actually appreciate that level of engagement when shooting with prime lenses. This lens is usably sharp at f/1.2, much more so than the Canon 50mm f/1.2 (roughly the same focal length when mounted on their respective native cameras). The richness of the colors and contrast is on par with the EF-M 22mm, which is good. This lens also gets top marks for bokeh and build quality. If you're looking to add fast primes to your M kit and know how to shoot on manual with manual focus, this lens will deliver.

[0.39 lb] I have only taken this out once but the results so far have been beautiful. In context, I've owned the Canon 85mm 1.2 and the Canon 85mm 1.4 back in my dslr days and the Sigma DG DN 85mm 1.4 lens most recently. I shoot a lot of on location portraits and found the 85mm to be too tight on many of the locations I shoot. With that, I reluctantly traded in the Sigma on the Sony 50mm 1.2 lens. I didn't have the funds to keep both. (The Sigma is an amazing lens btw). After shooting the Sony 50mm (another great lens) I found I really missed the compression of the 85mm focal length when I did have the room, so I started looking around for a sleeper and I found it! Im still recovering from the price tag of the Sony 50mm so I was looking for something cheaper than the Sigma to have on hand for those occasions I wanted an 85mm. This Tokina fits the bill perfectly. It is a simple, no bells and whistles piece of glass that takes images comparable to any of the best lenses Ive used. The difference between 1.8 and 1.4 is negligible at best and this is built like a tank with its metal construction. I got it on sale for $399 and is a steal at this price. After shooting this I couldn't justify spending the money on the Sigma again which was one of my all time favorites. It is a very basic lens but the images are awesome even when shot wide open at 1.8.

[0.055 lb] I have both this lens and Canon 50mm 1:1.2 L.� After almost a month since I received Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar, I now confidently say that this lens is sharper than Canon at F1.4.� And it is indeed an excellent lens for portraiture.

[Glass] I've purchased this filter to pair with an expensive lens such as a Canon EF 50mm 1.2L. This filter has an excellent construction, comes with a nice pouch, and the results are amazing, especially at the beach.

[0.185 lb] I've been using this adapter with my 50mm 1.2L FD lens and the images look flawless on my Canon EOS R

[0.28 lb] I purchased this under the recommendation of B&H to go with my new Canon 50mm 1.2 L Series lens.  I was immediately impressed by its clarity and build.

[Plastic] Fits perfectly on my 50mm 1.2

[43 mm (Front)] I use this on a GH5 and I'm impressed. Sharpness at f.95 looks very good, especially center of frame. I was using the Canon 1.8 STM 50mm with a Viltrox EF-M2 lens adapter, which allowed me to stop down to f1.3, but the image I was getting was fairly soft. Bought this to replace it, albeit a bit wider than the 50mm (1.6x crop w/ Viltrox) but the image looks much sharper. Was also impressed with the build quality. It's a compact lens but it has some weight to it. Feels very sturdy and aperture and focus rings turn smoothly with clickless aperture. All and all, I would definitely recommend for someone that may be a little skeptical because of the price. Oh yeah, the little case it ships in is a nice touch, too.

[Glass] Great for the canon 50mm 1.2 or 85mm 1.2, for shooting in the day time when the sun is out, this filter gives your images more clarity when you shoot and its great for controlling DOF.

[UV] Expensive? yes. Maybe you could go with a cheaper version, but I bought this with my Canon 50mm L 1.2, and if I'm going to spend $1500 on a lens, I want to protect my image quality and investment.
