About the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Pair your Canon digital SLR with this high-quality 50mm lens to capture crisp, sparkling-clear images. Its large maximum aperture of f/1.4 gathers lots of light to give you an ultra-bright view through your viewfinder, plus it means you can use faster shutter speeds to "freeze" moving subjects. This lens is also ideal for taking great-looking photos at twilight, or indoors without a flash. Its 50mm focal length also makes it an excellent choice for portraits and all-around picture taking.

The lens is compatible with Canon EOS full frame and APS-C cameras. On cameras with an APS-C image sensor, the lens provides an 80mm equivalent focal length. The lens features superb quality and portability, with two high-refraction lens elements and new Gaussian optics that reduces distortion and spherical aberrations. Crisp images with little flare are obtained even at the maximum aperture.

Diagonal Angle Of View: This Canon standard telephoto lens provides a diagonal angle of view of 46°.
Ultrasonic Motor (USM): With the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), you can expect fast and quiet focusing capability.
