Canon RF50mm F1.2 L USM

The RF50mm F1.2 L USM is a professional standard prime for the EOS R system and a showcase for what the wide RF mount allows. The f/1.2 aperture gathers light in dim rooms and throws backgrounds far out of focus for portraits, while a rounded 10-blade diaphragm keeps the bokeh smooth. The optical design holds sharpness and contrast wide open, where earlier fast fifties tend to soften.

A ring-type USM motor focuses quickly and quietly, and a customizable control ring lets you adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation without leaving the eyepiece. Dust- and water-resistant sealing plus a fluorine front coating make it dependable outdoors. It takes 77mm filters and ships with the E-77II cap, RF dust cap, the ES-83 hood, and the LP1319 II case.
