Our take on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a fast prime lens for Canon EF cameras, made for streamers who want a soft blurred background behind a face cam. At a tracked $1,349 it sits at the bottom of a $1,349 to $1,399 range from August 9 to October 1, 2026.
The f/1.2 aperture lets in a lot of light for a dim room. It has full-time manual focus, a 72mm filter size and a minimum focus distance of 0.45 meters. It weighs 1.8 pounds and is a fixed 50mm, so you cannot zoom. The listing mentions weather resistance. Retailer rating is 4.6 across 504 ratings.
- f/1.2 aperture for low light and shallow focus
- Weather-resistant build with ultrasonic motor
- Tracked at the bottom of its range
- Fixed 50mm, no zoom
- 1.8 pounds is heavy for light arms
- $1,349 is a large spend for one prime
