About this product
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is a high-performance standard prime lens known for its natural perspective, bright aperture, and compact design. Offering a versatile 50mm focal length on full-frame DSLRs—or an 80mm equivalent on APS-C models—it is an ideal everyday lens for portraits, travel, and general photography. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows excellent control over depth of field and superb performance in low-light situations, delivering sharp subjects against beautifully blurred backgrounds. The lens utilizes a Gaussian optical design featuring two high refractive index elements to effectively reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring consistent sharpness and clarity across the frame. A Super Spectra coating helps minimize flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and preserving color accuracy, even in challenging backlit scenes. Autofocus is driven by a responsive micro Ultrasonic Motor (USM) that provides smooth, quiet, and accurate focusing—beneficial for both still and video work. Full-time manual focus override allows for immediate fine adjustments without switching out of AF mode. The rounded eight-blade diaphragm creates soft, natural bokeh for a pleasing aesthetic, particularly in portrait and close-up shots. Lightweight and reliable, the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM remains a trusted choice among professionals and enthusiasts seeking a blend of speed, precision, and optical excellence in a classic, compact form.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM LensCanon E-58 II Lens CapCanon Lens Dust Cap E (Rear)Bundle Items Include:Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM LensCanon Mount Adapter EF-EOS RShoulder Bag64GB Memory Card

Snap sharp, vibrant photos at a distance with this Canon EF-S 8546B002 telephoto lens, which features a 55-250mm focal length for flexible zooming and optical image stabilization to reduce the effects of camera shake.
The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM is a professional-grade ultra-wide zoom lens, designed to deliver outstanding optical performance for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs. Spanning an impressively wide 11–24mm focal length range, it allows photographers to capture expansive landscapes, interiors, and architectural subjects with stunning perspective control. On APS-C cameras, the lens provides a 17.6–38.4mm equivalent focal length, making it equally versatile for smaller-format users. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture ensures consistent light transmission across the entire zoom range, ideal for maintaining uniform exposures. Inside its advanced construction, one Super Ultra-Low Dispersion element, one UD element, and four aspherical elements work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion, producing sharp, clean imagery from edge to edge. Both Subwavelength Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) are applied to suppress flare and ghosting, preserving accurate color and contrast even in backlit or high-glare conditions. Autofocus performance is fast, quiet, and precise thanks to the ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), high-speed CPU, and optimized AF algorithms, while full-time manual focus override ensures refined control. Built for professional reliability, the EF 11-24mm f/4L is sealed against dust and moisture, with protective fluorine coatings applied to its large front element to resist fingerprints and smudges. The design also supports rear insert-type gelatin filters, offering creative flexibility for demanding photographers.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM LensCanon Lens Cap for EF 11-24mm f/4L USMCanon Lens Dust Cap E (Rear)Canon LP1424 Lens PouchBundle Items Include:Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM LensShoulder Bag64GB Memory Card
