30.2 Landscape Score
50mmf/16L-Mount
Why we recommend this ▼

The f/1.2 maximum aperture on this 50mm prime for APS-C sensors blurs busy backgrounds and isolates subjects clearly, while the 10 circular aperture blades enhance bokeh quality. Its aluminum body weighs only 330 grams, making it light for a lens with such a wide aperture, and the 7-element, 5-group optical design promotes sharpness and low distortion. This manual-focus lens suits portrait photographers who want a bright, compact prime for controlled shooting, though it is not ideal for macro work.
