RF45mm f/1.2 STM - RF Lens World

RF45mm f/1.2 STM

The RF45mm f/1.2 STM is Canon's first*1 45mm single-focus lens. Compared with standard 50mm lenses, this lens offers a field of view which is more similar to that of human vision, allowing users to capture images with a more natural perspective. It supports a variety of photographic uses, from casual snapshots to portraits and landscapes.

The lens achieves a wide aperture of f/1.2, leveraging the advantages of the RF system's large-diameter mount and short-back-focus design, as well as the optical correction features of Canon cameras, to suppress distortion aberrations. This bright f/1.2 design allows users to achieve a rich, expansive bokeh effect that makes the subject stand out, and delivers a powerful expression unattainable with the naked eye. Users can capture clear, well-defined images by controlling the aperture, and achieve a wide range of creative expression with a single lens.

The optical system incorporates a plastic moulded (PMo) aspherical lens for the first time in a Canon f/1.2 lens. By reducing the number of lens elements, it achieves outstanding image fidelity, reduced size, and affordability. The reduced weight of the PMo lens, together with Canon's proven STM technology ensures high-speed, high-precision autofocus of this heavy, large-aperture lens.

The total weight of the lens is approximately 346g, making it the lightest f/1.2 lens in Canon's lineup of RF/EF lenses. The RF45mm f/1.2 STM is easy to carry around. It pairs well with lightweight full-frame cameras, and when mounted on an APS-C size camera, it functions as a medium telephoto lens, with the equivalent of a 72mm focal length.
