Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM

CANON RF 50MM F1.2L USM

Setting new standards in photographic performance, the RF lens offers superb sharpness, additional creative control and simply impressive low-light performance.

Exceptional 50x10mm lens

The RF 50mm F1.2L USM is a new type of optical performance in full-frame photography. With exceptional clarity and sharpness, every detail can be seen, even at the very edges of the frame.

For portrait photography

This lens's 50x10mm focal length has a perspective similar to the human eye, while the ultra-wide f/1.2 aperture allows for an extremely shallow depth of field, making it perfect for emphasizing specific features, such as eyes, and making them stand out against a soft, out-of-focus background.

For street photography

With its fast maximum aperture and exceptionally fast focusing capability, the RF 50mm F1.2L USM is perfect for street photography, delivering a new level of resolution in available light.

For art

Printing a photo taken with the RF 50mm F1.2L USM lens is a real pleasure. The detail is incredible, allowing fine art photographers to create even more impressive works for exhibitions.

The widest of wide apertures

The RF 50mm F1.2L USM lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.2, the widest available in the Canon EOS range. It enables video and stills with an extremely shallow depth of field – a great way to make your subject stand out against a complex background.

Especially sensitive in the dark

Such a wide aperture allows photographers to use fast shutter speeds in low light, which can help to stop subject movement and camera shake. The RF 50mm F1.2L USM is a great tool for capturing the atmosphere of any moment using only the available light.

Fast focus

The ring-type USM autofocus system, more commonly found in Canon super-telephoto lenses, smoothly moves the large glass elements of the RF 50mm F1.2L USM. Sharp focus is achieved quickly and accurately, and it is also possible to track moving subjects in the frame.

Robust and responsive – designed for professionals

The RF 50mm F1.2L USM is part of Canon's L-series and is sealed against dust and moisture.¹ Camera settings are directly controlled via the customisable lens control ring, providing greater control and a mechanical feel.
