Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
EF 50mm 1:1.2 L USM
This standard lens offers a super-wide maximum aperture of 1:1.2. While the photographer uses the shallow depth to his advantage, he can scan images, such as wedding pictures in impressive style. By using an aspherical lens, spherical aberrations are effectively corrected, and reached even at fully open aperture crisp, clear images. Another attractive aspect of this lens is its circular aperture, which creates a beautiful background blur. Equipped with a silent high speed auto focus and full-time manual focusing for fine-tuning, this lens provides professional photographers satisfied both in image quality as well as in handling.
With a standard lens captured photos have a natural angle of view and convey a feeling of undistorted distance. Since the lens has approximately the same angle as the human eye, it requires much more skill from the photographer. The secret of the correct use of a standard lens is to find the right combination of the distance to the subject, the perspective and background blur. By choosing, for example when shooting with a flat or a steep angle, a small aperture, you can create an effect that is as dynamic as those of a wide-angle lens. Even if you choose a more conventional camera angle, you can do with a large aperture the background soft and thus achieve an image that is similar to the results that reaches a medium telephoto zoom lens. If you use a lot of effort to close-up perspective and composition, you can succeed in a professional-looking shots. In fact, the 50-mm lens is the only lens in which the photographer can usefully apply all the principles for working with lenses.
