L-Series Quality
The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM incorporates the highest standards of precision optics in Canon. The L Series is the flagship of Canon's professional lens range, combining outstanding imaging performance and unsurpassed handling with dust- and moisture-resistant construction.

Large f/1.2 aperture
Its bright f/1.2 maximum aperture provides outstanding speed in low-light shooting conditions without having to use the flash. Its wide diaphragm also allows precise control of depth of field.

Excellent? bokeh? background
Its circular opening allows to create an attractive? bokeh? Uniform background that is ideal for isolating subjects when using large diaphragms or for photographing exciting portraits.

Fast and quiet autofocus
Your USM (ultras engine? Nico) ring uses ultras frequency vibrations? Nica to get the autofocus in an extremely fast way and practically silent. A high-speed CPU and improved AF algorithm make autofocus even faster. Good mechanical braking torque stops the target's focus group at its exact point. It also features permanent electronic override of manual focus without having to touch the autofocus switch.

Super Sect Coatings
The Super Sect coatings of the lens and the shape of its elements eliminate the glare and ghosting that often appear with digital cameras as a result of the reflection of light on the image sensor. The coatings also allow for true colour balance and increased contrast, resulting in intense, high-fidelity images.

Sends distance information to E-TTL II
Does the lens send the distance information to the E-TTL II flash system of the EOS cameras in order to ensure the measurement? Flash premium.
