    Great image quality..........somewhat disappointed in how much audible noise the lens emits when focusing (especially because of it being an STM lens). From what others have said it is much quieter than its predecessor. This is my first fixed focal length prime lens. My other lenes for my T5i are the 18-55mm STM and the 55-250 STM. Both are excellent lenes and the STM motors on those are very quiet. I wanted this 50mm lens for two reasons. One because of the f1.8 aperture for low light performance and the other being it was an STM lens. I love the lens in low light conditions but wished it was quieter. I have added some random photos to give you idea of the image quality both outdoors in sunlight and indoors in low light conditions.Overall, not disappointed in this lens at all. I highly recommend it, especially for the price........pick one up!

    Incredible value, great lens, simply attach filters and magnifiers and bugs become Jurassic park.

    Very nice photo quality from a very compact lens. Good bokeh for a lens in this price range. Low light performance is stellar. My only complaint is that the autofocus servo is fairly slow and quite loud.

    Great deal for this fine update of a classic. The mount is now metal, and the focus is very quiet.

    Für Objektive kann man endlos Geld ausgeben und dennoch unzufrieden sein. Sei es aufgrund Selbstüberschätzung der eigenen Fähigkeiten oder Perfektionismus. Da kann die Leidenschaft für das neue Hobby schonmal abflauen.

    Perfect! Just as expected! Got this as a Christmas gift for my Husband, naturally he opened it to inspect it before I wrapped it; he said it was perfect! No damages, and it came in a Cannon package as well! Also arrived promptly in 2 days time!

    Amazing for street photography and portraits. These are the photos I took with the 50mm lens.

    I purchased my first Canon and needed a collection of lenses without breaking myself and this is one of the first purchases I made. Its exactly what I needed to start things off and I got it sooner than expected. Thanks a bunch!!!

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.
