This little lens is Canon's biggest secret. The Canon 50mm f/1.8 II has fantastically good optics, better than Canon's "L" series wide lenses like the 16-35mm f/2.8 L II. In fact, this $125 plastic lens gives sharper results than the 50mm f/1.4 USM I've used, especially in no light. The f/1.4 is soft at f/1.4, and worse, I rarely get in-focus
The Meike 50mm F1.2 can be had for only about $340 USD. That’s not to say the lenses are equivalent. The Canon lens is much sharper and has autofocus, and it is obviously exclusively for Canon. The Meike 50mm F1.2 lens is manual focus only, has a more “dreamy” rendering”, and is also available for Nikon Z, Leica L, and Sony FE mounts
This RF 50mm f/1.8 might as well be a f/2.8 or a f/4.0 by the sounds of it, which is expected for the price. The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S is excellent at f/1.8, there is room for Canon to make a competing lens and not another 50 f/1.8 or f/1.4 that is great but only once you stop it down. C.

An inexpensive lens like the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 ( $199 USD) allows them to do so without tremendous expense, and the images you can get from a prime lens like this are definitely different in kind from. Canon’s 50mm F1.8 lenses have traditionally been a pretty safe bet optically. They punch far above their weight class, and, while the images

Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM: Build and handling. The RF 16mm uses an almost identical chassis to the RF 50mm f/1.8, measuring just .4mm wider at just 69.2 x 40.1mm and weighing just 5g more at a feather-light 165g. As such, it behaves fantastically well as an all-day lens for shooting wide-spanning photos and videos.

This resulted in amazing lenses, like the excellent Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM, the compact Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, and many more. There is only one downside to these lenses.
