The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a professional L series lens designed to replace the EF 50mm f/1.0L USM. It is the shorter of the two f/1.2 lenses Canon makes, the other being the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM. It is constructed with a metal body and mount, and plastic extremities. This lens features a wide rubber focusing ring that is damped, a distance window with infrared index, and is weather-sealed. A circular, 8-blade diaphragm and maximum aperture of f/1.2 give this lens the ability to create very shallow depth of field effects with smooth background blur. The optical construction of this lens contains 8 lens elements, including one ground and polished aspherical lens element. This lens uses a floating front extension focusing system, powered by a ring-type USM motor. The front of the lens does not rotate or extend when focusing.
The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classic double-Gauss lens, with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3 and its faster cousins adding additional elements.
These lenses have an EF type mount that fits the Canon EOS line of cameras.
Six EF 50mm lenses have been developed and sold. Two are L series lenses and three have Ultrasonic motors.
Since the f/1.2L, f/1.4 and f/1.8 lenses can provide very similar wide-aperture shots but have very different price tags, they have naturally been the subject of many in-depth comparisons.
