Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Prime Lens for Canon DSLR Camera

Product Description:

By optically distributing power with a Gauss type design and two high-refraction glass lenses, flare at maximum aperture is minimized and astigmatism is greatly reduced. Moreover, improvements in the quality of the focused image and the beautiful natural blur of the background are simultaneously achieved. Use of a Micro USM (Micro Ultrasonic Motor) provides fast, silent auto focusing, as well as full-time manual focus. The color balance is virtually identical to the ISO recommended reference values.

Key Features:

• 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 color 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.
