About the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Canon’s f/1.4 standard lens for the EF mount, introduced in June 1993 with ultrasonic (USM) autofocus. It covers full frame and works on every Canon EOS film and digital SLR. Check that autofocus runs smoothly and does not stick.
What affects the price
- Fungus (web-like threads), haze or separation inside the glass. Shine a flashlight through the lens to check.
- Oily or sticky aperture blades, and a smooth, even focus ring.
- Scratches on the front element and cleaning marks. Light dust is normal and barely affects price.
- Front and rear caps, the hood and the original box add a little; the mount matters most for who can use it.
