Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM Lens
Offering a natural perspective along with a fast maximum aperture, the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM from Canon is a versatile normal-length prime characterized by its bright f/1.4 aperture to suit working in low-light conditions and for producing shallow depth of field imagery. This lens also features a Gaussian optics design, along with two high refractive index elements, to control spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in difficult lighting conditions. Complementing the optical design is a micro USM, which enables quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.Normal prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an 80mm equivalent focal length.Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords great control over depth of field for isolating subjects and using selective focus techniques.Gaussian optics design, which includes two high refractive index elements, notably reduces distortion and spherical aberrations for high sharpness and accurate rendering.Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and colour neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.A micro Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.Rounded eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.SpecificationsFocal Length50mmMaximum Aperturef/1.4Minimum Aperturef/22Lens MountCanon EFFormat CompatibilityFull-FrameAngle of View46°Minimum Focus Distance1.48' / 45 cmMaximum Magnification0.15xOptical Design7 Elements in 6 GroupsDiaphragm Blades8, RoundedFocus TypeAutofocusImage StabilizationNoneFilter Size58 mm (Front)Dimensions (ø x L)2.91 x 1.99" / 73.8 x 50.5 mmWeight10.23 oz / 290 gWhat's in the boxCanon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM LensCanon E-58 II 58mm Lens CapCanon Lens Dust Cap E (Rear Lens Cap)
