    Its sharp, compact and lightweight. It also has a pretty good close focusing distance. Focusing is accurate and quiet, but not so fast.

    Canon, sebbene sia un obiettivo entry level, è pur sempre Canon.

    I was surprised how much quality is in this small lens. I like that it has a metal mount and it is also light which makes it easy to pack. I find myself using this lens to most. I love it!

    If you’re into portrait photography, this is a MUST have lens! Not only is it super affordable, but the quality and picture outcome is great. Definitely worth the money!

    Image wise, this is a great deal. Itll be hard to find a lens at this price that delivers the way it does. But -- it is cheap, plastic, and not durable. The lens contacts stopped working after a year and my 5DM3 wouldnt recognize it. I sent it to Canon and the repair was going to be $75. If youre just starting out, go ahead and get the lens, but dont expect it to last long.

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.
