Offering a natural perspective along with a fast maximum aperture, the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM from Canon is a versatile normal-length prime characterized by its bright f/1.4 aperture to suit working in low-light conditions and for producing shallow depth of field imagery. This lens also features a Gaussian optics design, along with two high refractive index elements, to control spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in difficult lighting conditions. Complementing the optical design is a micro USM, which enables quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.

Received my lens in excellent condition. Very carefully packed, works great. Learn a lot about fotography in this website.
NIfty-Nifty Fifty
I have wanted a 50 prime for some time and have looked and since I won't use it all the time, I went this route because of the ratings and reviews/videos. Build quality is great and works like a charm. Focuses fast and precise on both the 5D Mklll and the 6D even works great on my Fuji system using a Fringer adapter. If you are looking for a nice 50 and don't want to spend the bucks for the L this is the way to go, although the L is still on my list. My only gripe and I understand why they don't do it but I sure wish it had an aperture ring on it, old school I guess. I am glad I bought it and feel like it will find a home on my 6D most of the time.
