The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is designed for Canon full-frame cameras like the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS 5D digital SLRs, but it also performs well on APS-C/H sized sensor models.
The large f/1.2 aperture allows for a shallow depth of field, ideal for portraits with beautifully blurred backgrounds, and enables faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions to reduce motion blur.
The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) provides fast and quiet autofocus, along with full-time manual focus capability, allowing for precise adjustments even when autofocus is engaged.
The lens features a dust and moisture-resistant construction, with protective components in the lens mount, switches, and focus ring, making it suitable for various shooting environments.
The lens bundle includes the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens and Hoya 72mm UV and CPL filters, which enhance image quality and provide additional lens protection.

You can elevate your photography to new heights with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens, a top-tier autofocus lens that sets the benchmark for performance and precision. Ideal for both professional photographers and advanced enthusiasts, this lens offers unmatched speed and accuracy, making it an essential addition to your camera gear. Specifically designed to complement Canon's full-frame cameras such as the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS 5D digital SLRs, it also delivers exceptional results on APS-C/H sized sensor models.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens exemplifies Canon's dedication to optical superiority, featuring a wide 72mm filter diameter and a robust construction that is sealed against dust and moisture. Its high refraction glass molded aspherical lens element plays a crucial role in minimizing spherical aberration, ensuring sharp detail and superior image quality from edge to edge, even when shooting wide open. This feature is particularly advantageous for full-frame digital camera users capturing waist-up portraits at events like weddings, where maintaining an appropriate subject distance is key.
With a large maximum aperture of f/1.2, this lens excels in creating a shallow depth of field, beautifully blurring backgrounds to make subjects pop in portraits. It also allows photographers to use faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions, reducing the risk of blur from subject movement or camera shake. The lens is equipped with Canon's ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), providing incredibly fast and responsive autofocus while maintaining quiet operation. The full-time manual focus capability lets photographers fine-tune image sharpness even when autofocus is engaged.
Built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional photography, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens features eight lens elements in six groups, delivering high resolution and clarity. Advanced lens coatings effectively suppress flare and ghosting, while a glass molded (GMO) aspherical element reduces spherical aberration and linear distortion for maximum image quality. To ensure durability in various shooting environments, the lens incorporates dust and moisture-resistant components in the lens mount, switches, and focus ring.
This comprehensive lens bundle includes Hoya 72mm UV and CPL filters, further enhancing your photographic capabilities by protecting your lens and improving image quality. Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or events, this lens and filter combination offers the versatility and performance needed to capture stunning images with ease.
