SUMMARY
The new Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens provides photographers with the creative potential of an f/1.2 aperture at a significantly lower price point than previous professional options. This lens, launched alongside the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, allows for extreme shallow depth-of-field effects, ideal for creative landscapes and close-ups with dreamy bokeh. While not an L-series lens and featuring a more budget-friendly build, it enables enthusiasts to achieve effects previously exclusive to lenses costing five times more. Its wide aperture also excels in low-light conditions, allowing for faster shutter speeds.
