This professional L-Series prime lens is an ideal general-purpose solution for the professional’s kit bag. With a large maximum aperture of f/1.2, it's fast when shooting in low light, with excellent control over focusing for shallow depth of field and creative effects when on location. For a truly professional finish, the ring-type Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) drives fast and quiet autofocus, with a circular 8-bladed aperture diaphragm giving out-of-focus areas an even softer look and elegant bokeh. Part of the Canon professional L-series flagship range, it's designed for robust handling and is resistant to dust and moisture.

A 50mm prime lens with a very large maximum aperture for fine depth-of-field control.

With its incredible f/1.2 maximum aperture, the super fast EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a consummate low-light performer. A lens that allows fine creative control over focusing and depth of field.

Very fast maximum aperture
A large maximum aperture of f/1.2 gives outstanding speed when shooting in low light. The lens also provides fine control over focusing, allowing an extremely shallow depth of field for creative effects.

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.

L-series quality
The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling and are resistant to dust and moisture.

Ultrasonic focusing
A ring-type ultrasonic motor 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.

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.

Integration with E-TTL II flash metering
The lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering.
