TTArtisan 50mm f/2 50mm
This 50mm f/1.2 for Canon RF APS-C uses a Sonnar optical concept and 10-blade diaphragm for outstanding bokeh at f/1.2. The compact 337g manual-focus lens has a tactile metal build, making it an inexpensive entry into ultra-fast portrait primes. Ideal for portrait photographers who want shallow depth of field and classic rendering without the cost of autofocus.
