    An absolute staple in any photographers or videographers bag. And since its not the most expensive, you dont worry as much about busting it up. Yet, it still prouces incredible photos.

    HUGE UPGRADE from the EF II lens. Better bokeh given from the smoother aperture control, and the close focus range comes in handy quite a bit! Great for video, portraits and candids!

    Very fast Very Inexpensive lens. crystal clear image quality, Bought it for shooting my young daughters youtube videos. We tried it out this weekend and I was blown away. This $100 lens makes our footage look like it was shot with a $10,000 studio camera.

    Absolutely a must have in lens collection for all in one casual photography. Absolute killer in terms of Landscape photography and casual Street photography with gorgeous Bokeh. Holds up pretty good for potrait too. In general a beautiful lens to have. Wish there were color options, thats my only disappointment.

    This Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens is awesome . If you’d like to shoot faster in low light, create images with an extremely shallow depth of field or replicate the focal length and central field of view of the human eye, you’ll want to add a 50mm prime to your wishlist. If you dont have this lens you are missing out.

    Original Canons nifty-fifty was already very good optically (I used to have both Mk I and Mk II of the 50mm f1.8 EF), but mechanical and AF shortcomings forced me to sell the lenses when I got a fast standard zoom (Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS) for my APS-C sensor camera, as pretty much redundant.

The wide f/1.8 aperture lets in more than 8x the amount of light compared to the standard zoom lens that is provided with your EOS. This results in sharper images with less motion blur and reduced need to use flash in dimly lit conditions so you can easily capture the atmosphere of a low light environment. The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject from a comfortable distance making it a great lens for portraits. A similar perspective to the human eye and its compact size make the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera. The near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses extremely quickly when shooting photos, so you can react suddenly to capture fleeting moments. Creating high quality movies is easier with STM as it delivers steady and quiet continuous focusing, so your movies are smooth, and soundtracks only capture the surrounding sounds and not the noise of a focusing motor. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens which was affectionately known for giving outstanding picture quality at an affordable price. This latest version gives the same stunning photo quality but with a fast, near-silent focus motor and a more robust build that belies its price.

From the Manufacturer

EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Compact and lightweight—an outstanding walk-around lens Canon"s EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras, 50mm on full-frame cameras, it"s an excellent prime lens for portraits, action, even nighttime photography. Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 helps it not only to excel in low light, but also to capture gorgeous, sharp images and movies with beautiful background blur thanks to its circular 7-blade design. An updated lens arrangement with new lens coatings helps render images with excellent color balance, plus minimized ghosting and flare. Performance is brilliant, with a stepping motor (gear-type STM) to deliver near silent, continuous Movie Servo AF for movies plus speedy, smooth AF for stills. A redesigned exterior with improved focus ring placement makes manual focus adjustments a breeze. Canon"s most compact 50mm lens, the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has a rugged metal mount, plus an improved minimum focusing distance of 1.15 ft. (0.35m) and a maximum magnification of 0.21x. Offering sharp performance for the best in movies and stills, it"s a fixed focal length gem—the perfect lens for photographers and moviemakers to expand the creative possibilities with their EOS cameras.
