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.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Reviews
Great lens with great value
I bought this lens as an inexpensive option to have a light travel lens vs. my much heavier 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens. I've done a couple trips with it, and the lens is great! Super light, inexpensive, and the picture quality is sharp with good bokeh. I'm very happy with it!
Solid lens at good price
I was looking for a solid 50 mm prime lens for my DSLR and this one fit the bill. Works well in low light situations.
It does what is promised!
Sharp and well defined images.
Decent lens with good price/performance ratio
It is a decent lens to have in your kit. Focusing is good but makes some noise (not good for videos). Photos come out sharp as you move higher in aperture like 2.8. It is very light weight and price is very good.
Great lens for model kit photo
Just picked up this lens in order to grab some nice photos of my finished model kits and I am happy to say that the results of each image is great the lens provide the perfect balance for the model kits in focus and a great blurry background
Awesome
Awesome lens for the price
Perfect workhorse lens
Great lens - super sharp pictures, with just the right amount of bokeh. Amazing results at such a great price. Delivered crazy fast, as per usual for B&H.
Bought this lens to convert an older EOS70D into a webcam
Getting a Canon official lens with motorized auto focus for under $150 is pretty hard to pull off these days, but this one works for exactly my needs. With the shortage of quality webcams near the start of remote work due to the pandemic starting in March 2020, I decided to make use of my older canon DSLR since it was otherwise sitting in the closet. This lens turned out to be the perfect combination of cheap price and extensive features to make the conversion I wanted to try work perfectly. People joke during meetings now that I look like some sort of high-end YouTube streamer.
