EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a normal-length prime lens designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, though it can also be used on APS-C models where it provides an 80mm equivalent focal length. The lens features an exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture that provides extensive control over depth of field for selective focus applications and enables effective performance in low-light situations. Its optical design includes one aspherical element to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring high sharpness and accurate rendering across the frame.

The lens is equipped with Super Spectra coating applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare while maintaining greater contrast and color neutrality in strong lighting conditions. A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) delivers fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override, while the eight-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to pleasing out-of-focus quality. As a member of Canon's L-series, this lens features a robust physical design with dust and moisture sealing for use in inclement environmental conditions.
