Canon RF45mm F1.2 STM 45mm

53.1 Portrait Score
45mmf/16Canon RFWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

The f/1.2 maximum aperture delivers exceptionally shallow depth of field and strong low-light performance in a compact 345g body, enabled by Canon’s first PMo aspheric lens in this design. Its natural 45mm perspective pairs with a customizable control ring and smooth STM autofocus, offering an affordable entry to ultra-fast RF glass. This lens is best for portrait and lifestyle photographers who want dramatic bokeh and a natural field of view without the bulk or cost of larger f/1.2 primes.

Canon RF-S7.8mm F4 STM Dual 8mm

45.9 Portrait Score
8mmf/16Canon RF
Why we recommend this ▼

A stereoscopic dual-lens design captures spatial video for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3, using an STM autofocus motor and a 60° field of view on APS-C bodies like the EOS R7. Its compact 130g build and f/4 constant aperture make it an accessible entry point into the Canon EOS VR System without heavy rigs. This lens is best for content creators experimenting with 3D vlogging and immersive video, not for traditional landscape or macro work.
