Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM 50mm

36.8 Macro Score
50mmf/50Canon EFWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The f/1.4 maximum aperture and ultrasonic autofocus motor provide bright viewfinding and fast, precise focusing in a compact 290g build. Its Super Spectra Coating and two high-refractive-index elements effectively suppress flare and ghosting for crisp image quality. This lens is best for photographers needing a lightweight, low-light prime for general shooting, though its minimum focus distance limits its utility for dedicated portrait work.
