Elite Brands Inc 50M-C
The fast f/1.4 aperture and specialized UMC coating reduce ghosting and flare while delivering strong low-light performance on full-frame sensors. Its internal focusing design keeps the 77mm filter thread from rotating and enables a close focus of 17.7 inches, with an 8-blade circular diaphragm producing smooth bokeh. This lens is best for portrait photographers on a budget who want shallow depth-of-field control without spending on first-party glass.
