The Canon CN-E 50mm T1.3 L F is a manual-focus cinema prime for EF-mount cameras, including Canon's C-series and full-frame EOS bodies. Its fast T1.3 aperture and 11-blade near-circular diaphragm produce shallow depth of field and round highlights, and the stepless aperture ring gives smooth, silent iris pulls. It shares its front diameter, gear ring positions and barrel layout with the CN-E 24mm and CN-E 85mm, so it swaps into a rigged setup without re-rigging. It suits narrative, documentary and low-light shooters who want a matched prime set; it is heavier and fully manual, so it is not a run-and-gun autofocus lens.

Owners and reviewers treat the CN-E 50mm T1.3 as a solid workhorse cine prime: sharp wide open, with pleasing bokeh and a build that holds up on set. Most criticism centers on its weight and price relative to stills lenses, and on the lack of autofocus.
The Canon CN-E 50mm T1.3 L F is a cine prime lens with an EF mount. It works with Canon's C-series cinema cameras, full-frame EOS DSLRs, and any video-capable camera that accepts EF-mount lenses. The T1.3 aperture suits low-light shooting.
The diaphragm has 11 blades shaped to be as circular as possible. Together with the fast aperture, this produces background blur and round highlights. The diaphragm ring is stepless and fully manual, including when the lens is used on a DSLR.
The barrel rotates 300°. Markings on the angled surfaces on both sides make focus and aperture settings easy to read from the rear or either side of the camera. The focus markings can be changed from standard labeling to metric. The control rings are built to give consistent operating torque.
