Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a compact, lightweight lens. The ultra-fast EF 50mm f/1.2L USM has the widest aperture of any lens in the range, making it the perfect lens for working in low light. Ideal for controlling depth of field and for shooting indoors without a flash.

In the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM you'll find Canon's highest standard of precision optics. The professional L-series range is Canon's flagship line: superior image quality, great ease of use and a construction that protects the lens against dust and moisture. Thanks to the wide maximum aperture of f/1.2, you can shoot quickly in low light without needing a flash. Depth of field can also be controlled more precisely. The circular aperture creates an attractive, smooth background, ideal for isolating subjects with a wide aperture and for irresistible portraits.

A ring-type USM (ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations for extremely fast, virtually silent autofocus. The ultra-fast CPU and improved AF algorithm further boost AF speed. The lens stops in exactly the right position the moment focus is achieved, preventing overshoot. Photographers can also switch straight to manual operation without disabling AF.
