The EF 50mm 1:1.2L USM is part of Canon's professional L-series lenses. It combines outstanding image quality and high user comfort with a dust- and water-resistant construction.

Large aperture of 1:1.2

With a large maximum aperture of 1:1.2, this lens offers exceptional light-gathering ability for use in low-light conditions. Additionally, the wide aperture allows for precise control over depth of field.

Excellent rendering in the out-of-focus area (Bokeh effect)

The lens features a circular aperture diaphragm that creates an attractive, smooth out-of-focus background; ideal for isolating subjects at wide apertures and for compelling portrait photography.

Fast, nearly silent autofocus

The autofocus is operated by a ring-type ultrasonic motor (Ultrasonic Motor - USM) built directly into the lens. This enables extremely fast and nearly silent focusing. A high-performance CPU unit and an improved AF algorithm contribute to the autofocus's high speed. A good holding torque ensures that the optical construction is precisely guided to the focus point without overshooting. The electronically controlled focusing can be manually overridden at any time without leaving the AF mode.
