It`s official! 24 hours after product photos leaked online, the rumored Samyang/Rokinon XP 50mm F1.2 lens for Canon EF Mount has officially arrived. This is the third so-called `XP` lens-the first two, which were announced in 2016, were the XP 85mm F1.2 and XP 14mm F2.4-which are named for their `Excellence in Performance.` That is: they`re designed to resolve over 50 megapixels for photography purposes, and easily capture crisp 8K video.
Like those lenses, the XP 50mm F1.2 is manual focus and currently only made for the Canon EF mount. It boasts a 9-blade aperture, and is made from 8 groups of 11 lens elements, including one aspherical and one high-refractive lens element that promise to `deliver sharp and vivid images to camera sensors by effectively tuning the light path.`
Finally, Samyang has also included its `ultra multi coating` to help ameliorate flare and ghosting. Here`s a closer look at this lens:

And here are some sample photos, posted by Samyang on the new XP 50mm F1.2 product page alongside an MTF chart and detailed specs:
