Long regarded as the standard focal length, a 50mm lens requires skill to use it well. The fastest standard lens in its class, the EF50mm f/1.2L USM lens is a natural choice for ambient light portraits with a natural, flattering perspective. The large, circular aperture can be used to create a very shallow depth-of-field and pleasing out of focus highlights.

The EF50mm f/1.2L USM lens is favored by portrait photographers for the natural perspective it delivers, and the ability to separate the subject from the background by good control of the depth-of-field. It is appropriate for wedding photographers who are looking to use natural light creatively for impact.
