Great Deal

Great lens and accessories for the price. The lens hood isn't made by Canon but does work if you are patient.

Feels good in the hand

It's a good looking lens and feels good in the hand. The only thing I would like to seen was a hood that come with it

Absolute necessity to round off the Kit!

A go-to lens with exceptional ability to make dreamy images! Light eeight yet robust, this design has been around for a long time, and is probably one of the most depended on short primes out there.

50mm f/1.4

I couple this lens with my R6 body. It works as expected with a great gain due to the f/1.4 .

Awesome lens!

Canon?s best kept secret. It?s just as sharp as some of Canon?s sharpest lenses. No need to pay more for L series lenses.

Great lens to bring out a subject

Great bokeh. Only good to concentrate on one subject. Everything else becomes blurry.

Spend the extra money for this baby

This is the only lens I own (right now). I am very pleased with it. I'm making it work for Photos and Video, for now. I use it with my Canon 90D body. Spend the extra money for this baby. Use it for my business Caution To Wind. See attached photos.

Best bang for buck in Canon 50mm

Great lens! Perfect value for a Canon 50mm. Better image and aperture than the 1.8 and less than 1/2 the price of the 50mm 1.2.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Excellent Learning Lens

By Kashius

I've been reading the reviews on this lens, and I am stunned to find out that the biggest complaint is about the AF eventually breaking. I am a professional photographer, and I was taught many years ago not to rely on auto focus. I rarely use the AF, so I guess I don't have to worry about the lens ever breaking. I bought this lens for two reasons. 1. it was affordable. 2. I wanted to improve how I take portraits Not only did this lens do that for me, but I discovered that this lens is also ...

Excellent low light lens

By TomH D.

I've had my EF 50mm 1.4 lens for many years. My Canon 6D normally carries a 24-105 L series lens. The 50mm is used when I want to lighten my load or shoot photos indoors with natural light. Note that 1.2 and 1.4 lens opened to their widest apertures have a very narrow depth of field which, if focused properly, will provide the target in crisp focus and intentionally blur items in front or being the subject. My lens has been excellent at focusing on it's own and the manual override without thr...

Where Precision Meets Innovation: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens Bundle with Hoya 58mm UV and CPL Filters

Elevate your photography with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens, a benchmark in optical excellence. This lens is meticulously engineered to deliver a superior blend of sharpness, color richness, and image accuracy, making it an essential tool for photographers who demand the best.

Advanced Optics with Gaussian Design

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens features two high-refraction lens elements combined with Gaussian optics, effectively eliminating astigmatism and minimizing astigmatic difference. This results in sharp, flawless images with enhanced detail, even at the widest aperture settings. With a versatile 50mm focal length and a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and offers exceptional depth of field control.

Fast and Accurate Ultrasonic Focusing

Experience the speed and precision of the ultrasonic motor (USM) technology, which ensures rapid autofocus with remarkable accuracy. The motor's superior holding torque prevents overshooting, allowing you to capture your subject with precision. The lens offers a 46-degree diagonal angle of view and a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m (1.5 ft), making it ideal for both close-up and wide-angle photography. For those who prefer manual adjustments, the lens allows seamless manual focus override without exiting autofocus mode.

Exquisite Bokeh for Artistic Depth

Create stunning images with a beautifully blurred background that highlights your subject. The virtually circular aperture diaphragm, featuring eight rounded blades, produces a soft, even bokeh effect. This enhances the depth and dimension of your photographs, particularly when using shallow depth of field techniques.

Super Spectra Coating for Enhanced Image Quality

The Super Spectra coating on this lens ensures vivid color reproduction and reduces glare. It provides accurate color balance and heightened contrast, resulting in vibrant, true-to-life images. This coating also significantly reduces flare and ghosting, common issues caused by light reflecting off the camera's sensor.

Complete Your Kit with Hoya 58mm UV and CPL Filters

This bundle includes Hoya 58mm UV and CPL filters, essential tools for any photographer. The UV filter protects your lens from dust and scratches while enhancing clarity. The CPL filter reduces reflections and glare, improving color saturation and contrast in your images.

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens, bundled with Hoya filters, represents the pinnacle of lens engineering and optical performance. It is the perfect choice for photographers seeking unparalleled precision, clarity, and richness in every shot, from the subtlest shadows to the brightest highlights.
