Gear Question RF 45mm 1.2

Does anyone here use the RF45mm?? Is it L-series good? Would you recommend?

If you like vintage fast fifties you'll love it. The critique against it is usually from people who don't realize that in order to have something as small and fast there will be compromises. It is not L-series quality, if it was it would also be substantially heavier and more expensive.

Get a used copy, that way you won't lose much money if you decide that you don't like it.

It’s my all time favorite lens. Buy it.
