Lens Description:
Classified as a ultra-fast full-frame standard prime lens, professional model, the Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM is a Vintage 50mm prime for the Canon EF system. The Ernostar optical construction (7 elements in 6 groups) is an early fast-lens design prized for low-light performance. A maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a 8-blade iris make it a capable choice in low light, while its 290g body keeps it manageable. Accepts 58mm screw-in filters and uses autofocus, manual focus.
