    When I purchased this lens back in November, I was so excited to see how I would be able to use it. Not only did it completely wow me, it has become my automatic go to when I travel or attend events. It also serves as a GREAT portrait lens for senior shoots that I often do.

    This lens is the quickest fix for a kit lens upgrade if you want to shoot better portraits that are super sharp. Youll. Price a difference right away but it will take some getting used to on a crop sensor camera as it acts more like an 85mm. Used on a Rebel T5i and absolutely love it!!

    I love my new lense! I have to state that I am no pro when it comes to photography, but I have developed an interest in it for some time now. I took a photography class in high school many years ago, and obtained my first canon rebel a year ago. I was using the kit lense, but I felt limited with that. I wanted to experiment with bokeh, and this lense is perfect! Looking forward to using it on portraits!

    My first prime and its amazing. I just bought for low light video shots but its also amazing for photos. Images and videos are so clear. Only down point its a little bit low view angle because of crop sensor camera. It must be amazing with 28 or 35 mm 1.8 and also 1.4.

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.
