Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L II USM Lens Coming?

Posted on by

There is lots of talk currently about the possibility of new Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L II Lens announcement.

The first “evidence”: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens is missing from the Canon USA official website. Maybe this is just a mistake, we know this happens time-to-time.

The second “evidence”: Pricing drops on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens. Now EF 50mm f/1.2L is in stock at Amazon, B&H for $1,399 ($50 instant savings).

The third “evidence”: For many Canon photographer, they prefer the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens ($949) between the EF 50mm f/1.2L and Sigma 50mm Art.

The previous rumors said Canon will release the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L II USM Lens in late 2015 to early 2016.

Hope the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L replacement could come ASAP.

Here are the rumored Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L II features:

  • New Design
  • Include a floating element like the EF 85mm f/1.2L II
  • Get rid of the focus shift problem
  • Weight is lighter
  • Improved auto focus speed
  • Latest and greatest lens coatings
  • To be announced in late 2015 to early 2016 (After EF 35mm f/1.4L II)
