Description
Description
Big light. Natural view. Effortless everyday magic.
The feel:
If you want that “looks-like-real-life” perspective with room to get dreamy, this compact standard prime brings it. The bright f/1.2 aperture lets you keep ISO low, blur distractions into buttery backgrounds, and keep shooting when the light dips—perfect for portraits, lifestyle, food, and everyday storytelling on your EOS R-series body.
Why you’ll love it
-
Bright f/1.2 aperture for low-light confidence and pronounced background blur (shallow depth of field) in a natural-looking 45mm view.
-
STM autofocus with magnetic detection—a gear-type stepping motor designed for smooth, precise focus in a compact build.
-
Smart optics in a small package: 9 elements in 7 groups, including a PMo aspheric element plus Super Spectra Coating to help minimize aberrations and flare.
-
Get close without fuss: minimum focus distance ~0.45 m (1.5 ft) with 0.13× max magnification for detail-rich close-ups.
-
Creative control, literally: dedicated control ring on the lens for quick settings changes (ISO, WB, etc.).
-
Nine-blade aperture for pleasing out-of-focus rendering; 67 mm filter thread for easy ND/UV/clear filter pairing.
-
Carry-friendly: approx. 346 g and about 78 × 75 mm (Ø × L).
-
Made for EOS R-series (full-frame and APS-C). RF mount (metal), AF/MF switch, full-time manual focus, and an angle of view ~51°20′ on full-frame.
Considerations: The lens does not include optical image stabilization and is not dust/weather-resistant. Lens hood is an optional accessory (ES-73B).
