Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens

Clearly distinguished by its bright maximum aperture, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is a normal-length L-series prime also sporting a robust physical design and advanced optical layout. The impressively fast f/1.2 maximum aperture affords a great degree of control over depth of field for isolating subjects and producing desirable selective focus effects. Complementing these qualities is a sophisticated optical composition, which includes one aspherical element to suppress spherical aberrations in order to achieve notable sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens to limit flare and ghosting and promote greater contrast and color accuracy in a variety of lighting conditions. Complementing the imaging attributes, a ring-type USM is employed to deliver quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has very fast maximum aperture

A large maximum aperture of f/1.2 gives outstanding speed when shooting in low light. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens also provides fine control over focusing, allowing extremely shallow depth of field for creative effects.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a 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 when using the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens L-series quality

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens L-series is Canon’s flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens Ultrasonic focusing

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a ring-type ultrasonic motor which 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.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a Super Spectra coating

Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera’s sensor.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens integration with E-TTL II flash metering

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera’s E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering.

Normal-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens 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.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has one aspherical element which helps to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a 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.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens has a 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 Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.
