Canon EF 50mm F/1.2 L USM Lens
- Normal-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an 80mm equivalent focal length.
- Exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.
- One aspherical element helps to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
- A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
- The rounded eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
- As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.
Always achieve excellent background bokeh
- EF 50mm f/1.2L USM's circular aperture gives a softer, more uniform focus feel with a sharp foreground
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is an unmatched new standard lens that features a 50mm focal length with a very large f/1.2 aperture maximum for a soft background blur, fine depth-of-field control, and narrow depth of field so loved by photographers. The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM fits in any shooting situation; the lens was optimized for coating and construction to minimize the flare and ghosting that frequently happens when lenses are used in digital cameras. This high-performance, the weather-resistant lens brings all the superb contrast and image resolution you expect in a Canon L Series Lens. Aside from being a consummate low-light performer, the lens also has ultra-sonic motor autofocus and super spectra coating to ensure the natural balance of the image contrast and color balance.
Super Spectra coating creates always vivid color
The Super Spectra coating ensures accurate color balance, and enhanced contrast and reduces flare and ghosting caused by light bouncing off the sensor
Very fast maximum aperture
A large maximum aperture of f/1.2 gives outstanding speed when shooting in low light. The lens also provides fine control over focusing, allowing an extremely shallow depth of field for creative effects.
Smooth background blur
A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out-of-focus regions a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background.
L-series quality
The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling and are resistant to dust and moisture.
Ultrasonic focusing
A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate color balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
Integration with E-TTL II flash metering
The lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering.
