Can a professional photographer use the Canon RF 50mm 1.8 or is it necessary to have the high end Canon RF 50mm1.2L? We’re going to put them to the test to find out!
The Canon RF 50mm 1.8 is certainly a budget lens, coming in at $159! But is it worth a $2,000 price difference to justify needing the RF 50mm 1.2L? There are a LOT of differences between them and you know that I am not a techy review kind of person, so what we’re going to look at is the end result once the pictures are taken!
Just holding the lenses in my hands, I could immediately tell the difference in weight and overall feel! The RF 50mm 1.8 is SO much lighter, made of plastic and looks so tiny on the camera body! I’m so used to the weight of the RF 50mm.2L so it would take a lot to get used to how light that is.
Overall, I was impressed by this lens but there’s some differences you’ll want to see to help you make the decision!

I started this 3-part series after walking through an incredibly hard season with one of our sons. But there are so many things I wanted to share in hopes of helping other mommas like me that struggle to figure out what was happening!
I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
