This lens uses a complex optical construction with multiple aspherical and a special UD element, drastically reducing spherical and chromatic aberration. As a result, users get crisp, high-contrast images even wide open, outperforming previous Canon 50mm lenses.
The RF control ring allows you to adjust ISO, aperture, or exposure compensation directly on the lens barrel, so you can change exposure instantly when moving between lighting situations, without shifting hands to the camera dials or taking your eye off the scene.
On cameras without in-body stabilization, users may need faster shutter speeds to avoid blur, especially in low light, but the fast f1.2 aperture helps compensate. On IBIS-equipped bodies like EOS R5 and R6, the lens benefits fully from sensor-based stabilization.
Portrait and wedding photographers, fashion shooters, and filmmakers rely on the smooth, uniform bokeh and razor-thin depth at f1.2 to create standout subject separation and creamy backgrounds, making images and video clips visually distinct.
With full weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element, the RF 50mm F1.2L USM is resistant to dust, rain, and fingerprints. This makes it ready for demanding rental use from city streets to location shoots in tough weather.
