Large-diameter mount and short back focus, combined with digital distortion correction, result in a compact and reasonably priced f/1.2 large-diameter lens.
Bokeh, enabled by a large-diameter lens, allows users to create images with a three-dimensional look, isolating subjects from the background.
An aperture of f/1.2 allows for faster shutter speeds in darker situations.
Effective placement of one PMo aspheric lens reduces aberrations (a first for Canon in an f/1.2 lens).
Gear-type STM technology with magnetic detection system enables a significantly smaller and lighter system.
The 45mm focal length is closer to human vision, providing more natural angles of view and perspective.
A dedicated control ring lets you customize the adjustment of various functions.
