L-series quality
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.

Photo Quote: As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs. - Sam Abell
