Canon just dropped this bokehlicious budget lens that gives you f/1.2 speed for less than 500 bucks

Canon just gave us something remarkable: the Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM, a lens that gives you a superfast f/1.2 aperture with full autofocus for under 500 bucks.

This is remarkable for any number of reasons. First of all, it's Canon's first ever (that I can remember, at least) 45mm prime. But it's also the first time Canon has ever offered f/1.2 speed in a non-L-series lens with a non-L-series price tag.
