that's some insane sharpness from the RF at 1.2. Pretty wild.

Best comparison I’ve seen in a long time :) awesome job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you! I learned so much about What to look for in a lens.

Exactly what a comparison video should be! Thank you, you made it as clear as day for me here. Awesome video man

Amzing lens comparison review thank you

Great information, tanks for all these informations !

very good breakdown man - thank you for doing this....

That EF 50 1.2L holds up against the RF way better than I was expecting, and it works better on RF cameras because of the superior and more reliable focus system of a mirrorless!

Great comparison, thank you.

Unbelievably helpful video I love the comparison of all the 50mm options across a variety of areas The RF is a beast, but Sigma has the best value Just bought the Canon RP, definitely getting the Sigma EF 50mm until they release an RF version, watch out Canon

Excellent Review! Thank-you :)!!

Fantastic video. Thanks! I subbed.

Good test. Thx a lot.

I got EF50mmF1.2L because it’s small and handy.. is there anyone like me?

The Sigma is really shining here. A crazily good buy for these specs. I'm not 100% sure any of these are is less desirable than the EF 1.2L because that has a "look" comparisons like this don't really show. Good job though. Thank you for a great review.

RF is pretty good. Thanks for comparing!

That dog shot was awesome 😍

Nice video man!

Here you have my Like and my folow. Switched from Canon to Sony but always looking what canon is doing. Maybee one day i came Back. Need Those 1.2 lenses for my Wedding Photography :D Great Review / Test btw !!! Greetings from germany

Thanks for this video..

That RF lens is so nice, but WAY too expensive as are ALL the RF lenses! $3200 plus tax here in Canada for a 50mm prime?! No way! Then say you want the 85, or a zoom, you are looking at nearly $7000 for a couple RF lenses! Jeez Canon, come on!

Cant belive only 200 plus likes and this review blows all other out of the water. Esp that Chelse and Tony nonsense. I think the Canon 1.4 will be my next lens.

Fantastic comparison, thank you for taking the time to put this together! I realize this lens was not featured in your review, but would you have any thoughts on the differences between the EF 50 1.4 and the new RF 50 1.8? Worth the tradeoffs to switch over to the RF lens? (already own the EF 50 1.4 - not terribly impressed with it, but I simply cannot justify the price tag of the RF 50 1.2 at this time)

Can I mount the RF 50mm lens on my Canon 6D?

Great review, earned you a sub. I have and lot the sign Sigma 50mm art but the sharpness and colors of the rf 50 are out of this world 😮😮 Beautiful dog!

Great job and lot of work on your end!!!!!! But in are lab for testing lenses we use test panels. Again great job!!! Just on my end would like to see more scientific approach. AAAAAA I see you saved it for last FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what body was used for 50 1.2 for this comparison？

thanks for the video. Since canon is clamping down on 3rd parties, the only option I can go is the EF lenses. Just got the Sigma 50 after watching your video.

Very nice comparison though not always equal in some sense. Might I ask why compare the vignetting with reduced shutter speed of 1/1600 for the sigma and the canon 50mm f1.4 whilst the ef f1.2 and RF f1.2 had 1/2500? (At 9:20) This would obviously skew the comparison as slowing the shutter speed lets in more light. So was just wondering

Best portrait lenses for canon r bodies ?

The Sigma is about 1/3 of the price of the Canon RF where I live. The Nikon D750 is cheaper than most full frame cameras these days. Would these two make for a good "cheap" combo compared to the Canon EOS R + RF 50mm 1.2? I could sell my D7200 and buy the D750 but I would have to shoot my DX lenses in DX mode which is probably only about 10 MP compared to the 24 MP of my D7200. I don't know if it would be a good move but would love to go full frame and have a lens like the Sigma 50mm 1.4.

Nice review but why do a bokeh test with the 1.2 at 1.4? The RF is crazy sharp all the way out to the corners and the IQ is insanely good. Amazing lens, best 50mm ever made and well worth the money.

Hi. Any chance to get the RAW files? The link is no longer working. Thanks!

can you do a test for the Zeiss CP2 Super speeds?

Love the Sigma, probably not not going to upgrade any soon

I love these comparisons. How was the autofocus speed and accuracy? Canon dslr's sometimes don't hit focus well with the sigma lenses. I do wish autofocus speed and accuracy were tested also, esp with the adapted lenses. But great comparison video.

Excelent video

This test shows that the sigma is a really great deal.

Wow thanks for this video! It clearly says that if you are not a millionaire/rich. Sigma art!! Thank you sigma for making the most affordable quality lenses!

It is still possible to correct the vignetting by setting on the camera, but only for Canon lenses.

50mm f1.0 and f1.8?

The RF is a beast, holy shit.

The Tokina Opera 50mm F 1.4 or Zeiss Milvus 50mm F1.4

Where are the EF Nifty 50’s?

Please do one for Nikon.

I decided to pic up Sigma. It is the best choice for the price and is usable on my dslr too.

Благодарю!

I'd really like to see how the Samyang XP f1.2 measures up. Both the 50 & 85 have that "it" factor.

I have the Sigma and a 5DIV....I am happy enough...honestly...if I picked up an R5 body...I would just buy the adapter keep using my Sigma...killer lens...spending that much more for the Canon gives very little improvement for the expenditure (+$1600!), over the Sigma in the real world....Is the Canon better...yes...but not $1600 better in my world...if you have a great photo......🙃. My buddy just bought a new Sigma for his Sony E-Mount for $699...you can get the same price for a new Canon copy, as well! 👍🏼

You compared the bokeh of the RF at 1.4, not 1.2!! That's a huge error to make in such a video.

This could be a perfect comparison if AF tests were run out too.

Was all of these shot on the same camera?

i got the Canon 50MM F1.2L which i paid £490.00 second hand and is BOXED

1.2 V 1.4 ?????? no mention of how you took the images was it all on a EOS R what setting are set for lens correction or not Come one if you wish to do it do it right ALSO you do not add the adaptor to the cost of ONE lens you use it with MANY lens OH your text say 35mm lens it a 50mm

One can buy the 35, 50 and 85 Sigma for the price of the 85 RF lens. RF lenses look better, but not that much better :)

The corners of EF 50 1.2L and 1.4 look sharper than the centre. That doesn't make sense.

I had 50 1.2 is a great lens , i don't talk about RF. RF it's simply not for me (for now simply out of budget ) Like people said you have to get R5 or R6 (at least to sustain in time ) wich already a big budget. I do prefer 6D MK 2 with Sigma 50 mm 1.4 And i have to say that when i put the sigma 50 1.4 on my gh5 it's my best lens (even better than having 18-35 1.8 ) On GH5/GH6 S5 panasonic color science there is something that i do prefer to have the sigma 1.4 instead the canon. RF lens they are beter in mostly all aspect , but yeah you got to put the money on that . 1 RF = 2 Prime L canon lens. Imagine getting 85 RF (wich is excellent) but for same price you can buy used sigma 50 1.4 + 85 1.2 II canon + 35 sigma 1.4

I was surprised by the flaring of the Sigma. Mine completely falls apart with direct sun into the lens. Have always had a paranoid feeling mine is a little broken somehow…

I'd probably go for the Sigma 50 simply because it's the closest to the RF for less than half the price.

I really regret that I was sold out my Sigma 50MM F1.4 on last week after watching this comparison.

Great video, I think it's a hard decision. I'm going to give you my process to take this decision and where I am... first, I compared the canon 1.4 with the canon 1.2L, the difference in pricing is really big, but may be I would go for the 1.2 just for the quality construction and the extra aperture and a little extra sharpness and better bokeh. So I almost go for the canon 1.2L. But in that moment I discovery the canon RF 1.2, obviously I discard this option for the price (nothing to say here), but what I got from this is that the EF 1.2L isn't the best lens compared with de RF 1.2. So I considered review third party lenses and I found the Sigma 1.4 Art, and I realized that its better than EF 1.2L in almost every category. So great, the best option in this moment is the Sigma. But then I think again among differences of prices between the Sigma 1.4 Art and the Canon 1.4, and the Sigma cost 3 time more than the canon 1.4, and I don't know if is 3 time better... so I'm in the start point :( I don't know which one I should buy :(

The Sigma 1.4 is REALLY impressive with rounder bokeh balls..hard to justify the RF 1.2

You missed the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM.

I rented the rf 50 1.2 and am blown away but 2300 bucks lol im sending it back. Id rather get the sigma 105 1.4 and rf 35 1.8 for that price.

No Zeiss 50 milvus or 50 makro planar? I tested all these (Canon 1.2ef, 1.4, and Sigma) and those two are the winners

So best bang for your buck would be the sigma or the ef 1.4. RF is nice but way overpriced with such a small difference in performance.

No one is talking about the super sharp, extra silent, Tokina 50mm opera

yup, and this is exactly why I'm selling my 50 1.2L for a sigma 50 art. the af-nail rate on my 5d4 is terrible and I never shoot wide open. love the size/weight of the 50 1.2 but having sharp/in focus images is crucial for me as a wedding photog.

🙏🏾

No “Nifty 50”?

nifty fifty really puts them all to shame if the vignetting is not a problem

Lightroom is slow as balls in this video. Adobe SMH

So the RF is perfect in every way. Got it. 🤣

sigma's lack of micro contrast is embarrassing

You look like "" mattie haapoja""

Great video, I'm just wondering why you people don't measure the filter size in inches or foot as well. 😆 Let's hope humanity will eventually decide on freaking unit of measurements that everyone understands. 😜

I’d pick a Sigma ART lens over any of Canon’s anytime. Unless Sigma doesn’t have the focal length I’m looking for.

Okay, I see many poor Sigma fanboys in this comment section lol 😂

Old 1.2 bokeh is better, but CA can be heavy. In real life though, you'll hardly ever need to go below 1.6

I love my Sigma 50mm 1.4 on my R6. I will not upgrade to the RF lens.

bloody imperial system :p

the Sigma wins with less CA, less vignette, less flaring, and rounder bokeh and is lighter at less than half the money. the Canon only won in corner sharpness wide open, witch for portrait photography doesn't matter at all. and you don't shoot wide open for other types of photography to often.

Your sound levels hurts

Well this was completely predictable !

So Sigma 50mm f. 1.4 work on Eos R?
