This fast portrait lens uses Canon’s latest lens technology to deliver clear, sharp images that are full of contrast and colour with razor-sharp detail right across the image. Air Sphere Coating (ASC) helps to supress internal ghosting and flare, allowing you to use the lens in any conditions.

Built with the needs of the creative photographer in mind, this lens features a fast aperture of f/1.4 to allow precise focusing and faster shutter speeds even in low light. The shallow depth-of-field afforded by a wide maximum aperture produces pleasing bokeh, giving depth to portraits when framed carefully.

Challenging light can make or break a good picture. This lens’s 4-stops of image stabilisation will help negate camera shake and give photographers an added advantage just when they need it most. For videographers looking to capture footage on the first take, the Image Stabilizer allows for remarkably steady filming.

Capturing a portrait requires fast reactions. Thanks to the latest AF technology, this lens has been designed to react quickly and accurately, allowing near-silent focusing. Clear focus markings and full AF compatibility with all EOS systems make this lens the perfect companion for photographers and filmmakers.

This L-series lens is designed to give high levels of performance in all conditions and in all weathers. Fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens elements help to protect against dust and moisture ingress while a shock-absorbing front casing means the lens is reliable and durable, even for the most demanding of professionals.

Explore creative portraiture and low-light photography It’s easy to capture superb portraits, or bold, artistic photos and movies with the new lens – the wide f/1.8 maximum aperture provides precise control over depth of field. It gives you the creative freedom to pinpoint focus on your subject and let the rest of the frame blend into a smooth blur – instantly allowing you to draw the viewer’s attention to a specific area. Additionally, the aperture lets more light into the lens, so you can comfortably shoot in darker conditions. As a prime lens, the fixed 50mm focal length provides high quality results, with enhanced visible sharpness and contrast. When paired with an APS-C EOS DSLR, the lens is ideal for portraiture, helping you capture the perfect head and shoulder composition. It’s also a useful every day ‘standard’ lens for full frame DSLRs and is great at shooting a diverse range of subjects with a natural viewpoint and perspective.

The lens also provides a minimum focusing distance of just 0.35m, allowing you to get even closer to subjects and achieve a greater level of magnification, while the 7-blade aperture delivers beautiful blur and out of focus highlights. Providing enhanced image quality when compared to its predecessor, the lens features Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, which minimises internal reflections, as well as ghosting and flare.

The perfect addition to any kit bag The lens has a compact and lightweight design, weighing a mere 160g, and easily slips into your bag adding very little to the overall weight of your kit. The lens’s new external design compliments both Canon’s consumer and mid-range EOS DSLRs, while the new metal mount provides a more robust connection to camera bodies. Additionally, the lens’s manual focusing ring gives you added freedom to control the precise area in focus in your photos and movies.

STM (Stepping Motor) Canon’s new line of STM lenses are specifically designed for shooting video with the camera’s Movie Servo AF mode. The  STM lens was designed to work fast, accurate and silent. The result is a movie that sounds professional without the sound of the noisy AF motor in the background.

The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM incorporates Canon’s highest standards of precision optics. The L-series is Canon’s flagship professional lens range, combining superior image performance and ultimate operability with dust and moisture resistant construction. Large f/1.2 aperture A large maximum aperture of f/1.2 provides outstanding speed for shooting in low light conditions, without the need for flash. The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of field. Excellent background bokeh A circular barrel aperture helps to create attractive, even background bokeh; ideal for isolating subjects at large apertures and for compelling portrait photography. Fast, quiet auto focus A Ring-type USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive extremely rapid auto focus with near-silent operation. A high-speed CPU and improved AF algorithm contribute further to AF speed. Good holding torque stops the focusing lens group without overshoot. Full time electronic manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF. Super Spectra coatings Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping suppress flare and ghosting – more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Coatings also help achieve true colour balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images. Passes distance information to E-TTL II The lens passes distance information back to the E-TTL II flash system of compatible EOS cameras to ensure optimal flash metering. Accessories The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens comes supplied with a cylindrical lens hood and a soft case.

Versatile, compact standard-lens design
Gaussian optics, combined with two high-refraction lens elements allow photographers working in all fields to capture crisp, clean images, even wide open at f/1.4. The lens is ideal for photographing landscapes and travel scenes as well as portraits and reportage.

Ultrasonic focusing
A 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.

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.

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.
