Clearly distinguished by its bright maximum aperture, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a normal-length L-series prime also sporting a robust physical design and advanced optical layout. The impressively fast f/1.2 maximum aperture affords a great degree of control over depth of field for isolating subjects and producing desirable selective focus effects. Complementing these qualities is a sophisticated optical composition, which includes one aspherical element to suppress spherical aberrations in order to achieve notable sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to limit flare and ghosting and promote greater contrast and color accuracy in a variety of lighting conditions. Complementing the imaging attributes, a ring-type USM is employed to deliver quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.

Exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.

One aspherical element helps to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.

Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.

Rounded eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.

Q: 9. I got a canon EOS rebel sl1 camera and what lens should I buy for sports photography

A: Charlie, it depends on your budget and whether or not you want/need a zoom vs a prime. This lens is a pretty fast prime (1.4), so it does pretty well in low light, but it isn't a zoom, so your feet will be your zoom. If you gave a bit more money in your budget, a good used 70-200 L or 24-105 L might be a strong starting point for you. However, if you need to stay sub 400.00, this 50, an 85mm or an EFS 18-135 are decent performers. As you progress with indoor sports photography, you might find yourself moving up to a full frame camera and faster (2.8, etc.) L glass. Good luck, and like they say, the most important gear is behind the viewfinder.
