Sold my RF 50 1.8

I use to own the 50mm 1.8 stm which I believe is similar optically to the RF version. For the price it's great value for money but I was always disapointed with the results compared to some of my other lenses.

In the end I sold the 50mm 1.8 and switched to a sigma 50mm 1.4 art which performs much better. Its bigger, heavier and more expensive than the 50 1.8 stm but a far better option imo.

I never really should have bought the lens, but old habits die hard. Had a 50mm available for all of my cameras for over 45 years. I also don't really care for the FL. I felt the RF was ok, but after a while never really saw the point in attaching it to the camera. Thus I sold the lens.  I still have an EF 50 1.8 kicking around somewhere.
