Optical & Portrait Metric Canon RF 50mm F1.2 L USM Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM What It Means in Practice
Upper-Body Working Distance 2.01 m 2.01 m Identical working distance—both frame an upper-body portrait from the exact same spot.
Effective Focal Length (Breathing) 50.8 mm (+1.6%) 51.4 mm (+2.8%) At 2.0 m, Canon RF 50mm F1.2 L USM frames like a 50.8 mm lens while Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM frames like a 51.4 mm lens.
Depth of Field (Sharp Zone) 17 cm (1.93 m – 2.10 m) 26 cm (1.89 m – 2.15 m) The Canon RF 50mm F1.2 L USM has a 33% thinner focus zone (17 cm vs. 26 cm)—requiring more precise eye focus.
Entrance Pupil Diameter 41.7 mm (f/1.2) 27.8 mm (f/1.8) Distant background blur discs are 50% larger on the Canon RF 50mm F1.2 L USM.
Minimum Focus Distance 0.4 m 0.3 m Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM focuses 10 cm closer (0.4 m vs. 0.3 m) for tighter close-ups.
Patent Prescription US20190265441A1 (15/9) US20210263286A1 (6/5) Published optical prescriptions traced in the 3D simulator above.
