Contributing a natural perspective through a fast maximum aperture, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is an adaptable normal-length prime lens featured by its bright f/1.4 aperture perfect for working in low-light conditions and for manufacturing shallow depth of field imagery. This lens also marks a Gaussian optics design, together with two high refractive index elements, to command spherical aberrations and distortion for achieving high sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to the lens for decreased flare and ghosting for upgraded contrast and color accuracy while working in harsh lighting conditions. Complementing the optical design is a micro USM, which allows quick and quiet autofocus performance together with manual focus control.
- Normal prime is made for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however, it is also compatible with APS-C models where it produces an 80mm equivalent focal length.
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is perfect for working in low-light conditions and also affords great control over depth of field for secluded subjects and using selective focus techniques.
- Gaussian optics design, which produces two high refractive index elements, notably minimize distortion and spherical aberrations for better sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
- A micro Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is made to deliver quick, precise, and smooth autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
- The rounded eight-blade diaphragm helps to a pleasing focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
