This Should Be Canon’s New Kit Lens… The 45mm f/1.2 STM

Canon might have just created the new 'Nifty Fifty' — but at 45mm and f/1.2. The Canon 45mm f/1.2 STM is the affordable fast prime lens Canon users have been waiting for — and I genuinely think Canon should bundle this as the new kit lens with the R6 Mark III. In this video, I break down why this lens could be the new “Nifty 50” for the RF system, who it’s for, , and whether its trade-offs matter for video shooters. If you shoot Canon RF, this one’s worth paying attention to. What lens are you using as your main everyday prime? Drop your answer below!
