Bundle - Canon - EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens, with Vanguard VEO 3 GO 235AB 23mm 5-Section Aluminum Travel Tripod with T-50 Ball

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is a high-quality, professional-grade lens that sets the standard for autofocus speed in its class, making it an indispensable asset for both professional photographers and advanced amateurs. This lens is uniquely designed to complement full-frame Canon DSLRs, such as the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS 5D models, while also delivering exceptional results on APS-C/H sized sensor models. As a testament to Canon's legacy of optical excellence, every facet of the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens exudes professional quality. It features a wide 72mm filter diameter and a robust construction that is sealed against dust and moisture. The lens incorporates a high refraction glass molded aspherical lens element that effectively minimizes spherical aberration, ensuring fine detail and maximum image quality from corner to corner, even when used wide open. The 50mm focal length is particularly beneficial for full-frame digital camera users, enabling them to capture waist-up portraits while maintaining an appropriate subject distance. The large maximum aperture of f/1.2 allows for a shallow depth of field, creating a soft background that makes subjects stand out in a portrait. This large aperture also enables photographers to utilize higher shutter speeds for low-light shooting, helping to prevent blur caused by subject movement or camera shake. Equipped with Canon's ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens boasts impressively fast autofocus speed and response time. A full-time manual focus feature allows photographers to fine-tune image sharpness, even when the lens is set for autofocus. Designed to deliver superior optical quality and durability, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens features eight lens elements in six groups for high resolution. Advanced coating techniques suppress flare and ghosting, while a glass molded (GMO) aspherical element reduces spherical aberration and linear distortion. Dust and moisture-resistant components in the lens mount, switches, and focus ring ensure the lens can withstand a wide variety of shooting conditions. In conclusion, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is an innovative, reliable, and durable choice for photographers seeking to elevate their craft.
