Canon EF 50mm Lens

Canon EF 50mm Lens

The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classic double-Gauss lens, with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3 and its faster cousins adding additional elements.

These lenses have an EF type mount that fits the Canon EOS line of cameras.

Six EF 50mm lenses have been developed and sold. Two are L series lenses and three have Ultrasonic motors.

Since the f/1.2L, f/1.4 and f/1.8 lenses can provide very similar wide-aperture shots but have very different price tags, they have naturally been the subject of many in-depth comparisons.

Famous quotes containing the word canon:

    There is a Canon which confines
    A Rhymed Octosyllabic Curse

    To fifty lines.
