Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Overview

By B&H Photo's

One of the most versatile focal lengths available, the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens from Canon is a compact, normal-length prime well-suited to everyday shooting. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for isolating subject matter. Individual elements feature a Super Spectra coating to help minimize flare and ghosting to realize greater contrast and color accuracy when working in backlit and harsh conditions. Additionally, an STM stepping AF motor is used to realize quick and near-silent autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

Normal-length prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an 80mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables control over depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.
Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
An STM stepping AF motor realizes smooth, near-silent autofocus that is complemented by advanced AF algorithms and a high-speed CPU for fast AF performance. Additionally, full-time manual focus override is also available.
Redeveloped physical design incorporates a metal lens mount for durability as well as a re-located focusing ring to maintain a compact form factor.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Reviews

Very Pleased with this purchase

By Marshall

I just recently got into photography using a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a standard 18/55mm kit lens. I wanted something with a more wide lens that wasn't going to break the bank and decided to try this 50mm f/1.8. So far I am very pleased with the quality and crispness of this lens. The ability to focus manually or auto is a plus. I have not tried it with video yet. That's next.

I've had this product in the past by buying it online for $50, but I should've bought it from here from the start. A full functioning lens was so worth the purchase. The quality of the pictures are amazing and the full functioning lens that has a guarantee if it's broken it's so much more worth it. I'm so happy with my buy. Thank you so much!

Great Canon lens- highly recommend
