A top-class prime lens that stands out primarily for its high aperture ratio of f/1.2, which makes it one of the leaders not only in its class, but also on the market as a whole. Claimed by the manufacturer as the best solution for wedding, portrait and reportage shooting — in particular, thanks to the 8-blade aperture, which provides a soft blur of the background. Designed for use in Canon cameras with EF mounts and full frame sensors. Autofocus is provided by an ultrasonic motor.

Canon's autofocus "fifty dollars" has practically no alternatives — it can only compete with the expensive and huge Zeiss Otus 1.4 / 55 with manual focus.
Creative shooting
The lens is designed for thoughtful creative shooting — in dynamic scenes or a reportage genre of photography, it will not show itself in the best way due to an overly soft pattern and low focus speed. At the widest apertures, there is also a strong darkening of the edges of the frame (vignetting) and chromatic aberrations can be visible. However, the effect of vignetting when shooting portraits often only decorates the picture, focus on the model.
fabulous bokeh
The strength of the model is the fabulous bokeh pattern. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM very smoothly separates the area of sharpness from the background, creating soft and beautiful highlights on it. Background details remain recognizable even after heavy blurring. It is the chic bokeh that becomes the key argument “for” when choosing a lens, since for its cost you can buy 10 simpler “fifty dollars” Canon EF 50mm f / 1.8 II USM.
Series L
The red edging around the front lens of the model indicates that it belongs to the “L” optics class. Canon's professional series of lenses is marked with this symbol, which is distinguished by improved optical characteristics, as well as dust and water protection of the housing. The use of high-class elements in the optical scheme of the lens affected its size and weight — against the background of other 50-mm fixes, the lens seems to be a kind of half-kilogram hulk.
Art
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both amateur and professional photographers. And the lens deserves them to the full, because such a solution with a unique pattern for artistic shooting will not be found anywhere else.
Reference. The term "bokeh" refers to the artistic blurring of the background that separates the subject from the background. The level of background blur depends on the lens aperture and focal length, and the shape of objects outside the focus area is determined by the design and number of aperture blades.
"Canon announces the launch of a new, high-performance L-series lens, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM. With the widest aperture of any Canon EF-series lens, the new lens delivers exceptionally precise depth of field control as well as excellent performance in low The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is expected to be a hit with wedding and portrait photographers as well as professional photographers. and high-speed autofocus.In addition, the round aperture provides effective background blur.
Shooting in low light
The new lens has the widest aperture of any modern Canon lens, f/1.2. This makes it perfect for shooting indoors in low light. This is often necessary for photojournalists and photographers working at wedding events where the use of a flash is undesirable.
Fast autofocus
Canon's latest ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM), high-speed processor and advanced autofocus algorithms combine to deliver fast and highly sensitive autofocus. Using Canon's ultrasonic ring-type motor (USM), which locks the lens with high precision, it ensures that the subject is correctly focused on the first try. You can also manually focus at any time.
Portrait shooting
The combination of a near-circular aperture for optimal reproduction of background tones (by evenly blurring out-of-focus areas) and a low depth of field at the widest aperture makes this model perfect for portrait and studio shooting. The f/1.2 aperture can be used to enhance portrait photography by sharply focus on the subject's eyes and slightly blurring facial features.
L-Series Lens Construction
L-series lenses are Canon's premier professional lenses designed to meet the needs of the most demanding photographers. The EOS-1 series cameras allow you to shoot in almost any weather conditions, so the new model has a special coating, seals and lens mount rings that prevent dust and moisture from penetrating inside the device, allowing you to shoot regardless of the vagaries of the weather.
aspherical element
To ensure uniform image sharpness, without the spherical aberrations that occur in standard lenses with wide aperture spherical aberrations, the new model, which includes 8 elements in 6 groups, uses a large, high-precision aspherical element with variable curvature. This aspherical element provides high image sharpness and contrast across the entire range of focal lengths and apertures.
Super Spectra Coating
In addition to an improved lens shape to reduce stray light reflections and the use of non-reflective materials in the lens barrel, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM features Canon's patented Super Spectra lens coating. This coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections and ghosting that often occur when using digital cameras due to light reflecting off the image sensor. By increasing light absorption, Super Spectra coating reduces the reflective effect of the lenses, resulting in bright, clear images with natural colour reproduction.
E-TTL II flash integration
The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM transmits distance information to the E-TTL II flashes found in all modern EOS digital cameras; this achieves more accurate exposure metering when using Canon EX-series Speedlites.
Accessories and environmental protection
The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM comes with a cylindrical lens hood and a lens case. In keeping with Canon's "Kyosei" philosophy of living in harmony with the environment, Canon lenses are made only from lead-free glass."
