    Great Deal

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

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Become a master of photography with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens, a paragon of optical innovation and precision. This high-quality lens, meticulously crafted to the highest standards, offers an unrivaled blend of sharpness, color richness, and image accuracy, transforming every shot into a visual masterpiece.

    Experience a significant boost in image quality with the lens's two high-refraction lens elements harmoniously paired with Gaussian optics. This powerful combination effectively eliminates astigmatism and suppresses astigmatic difference, ensuring every image is sharp, clear, and flawless. With a standard 50mm focal length and a wide 1:1.4 maximum aperture, this lens promises enhanced detail and clarity, even in low-light conditions or when shooting with the aperture wide open.

    The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens is equipped with a state-of-the-art ultrasonic motor (USM), delivering lightning-fast autofocus with impeccable precision. The motor's superior holding torque ensures spot-on focus without overshooting, making it a reliable tool for professional photographers. With a 46-degree diagonal angle of view and a close focusing distance of 0.45m / 1.5 ft., this lens is versatile, perfect for capturing both macro and wide-angle shots. For those moments that require manual control, you can effortlessly adjust focus without needing to switch out of AF mode.

    Achieve a dreamy depth of field with a beautifully blurred background that makes your primary subject stand out. Thanks to its virtually circular aperture diaphragm, this lens produces an even, soft bokeh. The rounded eight-blade diaphragm further enhances this effect, adding depth and dimension to your photographs, especially when using shallow depth of field techniques.

    Say goodbye to color imbalances and lens flare with the Super Spectra coating on this lens. This innovative feature ensures accurate color balance and boosts contrast, rendering your images in vibrant, true-to-life hues. More than just color enhancement, this coating significantly reduces flare and ghosting, common issues often caused by light reflecting off a camera's sensor.

    The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens is a testament to Canon's commitment to lens engineering and technological excellence. Ideal for photographers who demand perfection in every shot, this lens delivers unparalleled precision, clarity, and color richness, from the subtlest shadows to the most radiant highlights. Elevate your photography with this durable and innovative lens, compatible with a range of Canon cameras including the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
