Compact, lightweight, and close-focusing, the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a sleek normal-length prime offering a classic, versatile field of view and an especially compact design. An ideal lens for every day, walkaround shooting, this 50mm f/1.8 is characterized by its bright design for available light shooting and apt depth of field control. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element, which reduces spherical aberrations and distortion, and also sports a Super Spectra coating to minimize flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. Also, an STM motor affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a configurable Control Ring lets you adjust exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation, from the lens itself.

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Reviews
Awesome Value
I was excited to see this lens on sale as it is already a great value lens. Great for standard portraits and video with its light weight, large aperture, and quiet focusing.
Best Budget Lens
If you're just starting this a lens to start with. Sharp and light to bring everywhere.
For the price, GREAT!
Simple 50 mm lens for EOS mirrorless systems. Works great! Not the same quality as the faster lenses, but a great basic prime.
Darn Good Nifty-Fifty For The Price
I had the EF version of this little guy for many years and used it on both my Canon dslr and mirrorless bodies. I will say the RF version does seem to have a better build quality than the EF version and it's nice not having to use an adapter on a mirrorless body. Center sharpness is great at f/1.8 up to f/11, and corners sharpen up from f/2.8 to f/11. The lens is noisy when focusing so keep that in mind if you're going to use the lens for video. As always my friends at B&H processed my order quickly...I do recommend the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8!
Excellent Lens
This is the perfect people lens, sharp and crisp. My plan is to take it to Italy and get the most out of it.
Solid Prime Lens!
I purchased this lens along with a new Canon body and this lens is better than the old EF version that I used to have. 50mm is too narrow for me so I immediately purchased the 35mm lens. I don't think it's perfect but I think it's a solid lens that should be in everyone's camera bag.
Great price and very sharp
This lens (especially for the low price) is really lite, sharp, and produces nice colors.
Nifty Fifty for EOS R50, etc.
I am completely satisfied with the item. It does just what is described on the Amazon site as well as the Canon USA site. The quality and workmanship is excellent. See sample photo.
