Current Developments

Recently, the lens has been selling for as high as $780 on platforms like eBay, indicating a strong demand among consumers. Reports suggest that the lens is blowing up in reseller markets, fetching upwards of $800, which highlights its popularity and perceived value.

Despite its rising resale prices, the RF 45mm F1.2 STM is considered one of the most affordable f/1.2 prime lenses available. It averages around six days per unit to sell, reflecting a robust interest from both amateur and professional photographers.

Customer feedback on the lens has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising its performance as a solid, affordable fast prime for Canon RF-mount cameras. Observers note that this lens is not just a ‘cheap’ option but one that a new generation of pros and weekend warriors can build a solid portfolio with.

Future Prospects

In a strategic move to expand its offerings, Canon has begun collaborating with third-party manufacturer Sigma to develop additional lens options with autofocusing capabilities. This partnership could enhance the variety of lenses available for the RF-mount, further solidifying Canon’s position in the market.

Industry analysts suggest that the current surge in resale prices may lead to a cooling-off effect on the resale market as the lens begins to find its way to retailers at a more stable price. As the market adjusts, it will be interesting to see how the RF 45mm F1.2 STM continues to perform in both retail and resale environments.
