Description
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. The optical formula employs a Gaussian design with two high-refractive-index elements to control spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and clarity, while Super Spectra coating helps suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy in difficult lighting. Complementing the optics is Canon’s micro-USM drive, enabling fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override for precise focus pulls. Compact and lightweight, it’s the dependable “nifty fifty” you’ll want in your kit for portraits, detail shots, interviews, and low-light scenes.
