Big light. Natural view. Effortless everyday magic.

The feel:

If you want that “looks-like-real-life” perspective with room to get dreamy, this compact standard prime brings it. The bright f/1.2 aperture lets you keep ISO low, blur distractions into buttery backgrounds, and keep shooting when the light dips—perfect for portraits, lifestyle, food, and everyday storytelling on your EOS R-series body.

Why you’ll love it

  • Bright f/1.2 aperture for low-light confidence and pronounced background blur (shallow depth of field) in a natural-looking 45mm view. 

  • STM autofocus with magnetic detection—a gear-type stepping motor designed for smooth, precise focus in a compact build. 

  • Smart optics in a small package: 9 elements in 7 groups, including a PMo aspheric element plus Super Spectra Coating to help minimize aberrations and flare. 

  • Get close without fuss: minimum focus distance ~0.45 m (1.5 ft) with 0.13× max magnification for detail-rich close-ups. 

  • Creative control, literally: dedicated control ring on the lens for quick settings changes (ISO, WB, etc.). 

  • Nine-blade aperture for pleasing out-of-focus rendering; 67 mm filter thread for easy ND/UV/clear filter pairing. 

  • Carry-friendly: approx. 346 g and about 78 × 75 mm (Ø × L).

  • Made for EOS R-series (full-frame and APS-C). RF mount (metal), AF/MF switch, full-time manual focus, and an angle of view ~51°20′ on full-frame. 

Considerations: The lens does not include optical image stabilization and is not dust/weather-resistant. Lens hood is an optional accessory (ES-73B). 

In the box

  • RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens

  • Lens Cap E-67 II

  • Lens Dust Cap RF 

Who it’s perfect for:

Creators who want a fast, affordable standard-view prime for portraits, food, lifestyle, and everyday scenes—something small enough to bring everywhere, bright enough to make any light work, and simple enough to let you focus on the moment.
