Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

Description

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 STMCompact 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. SpecificationsFocal Length & Maximum Aperture: 50mm
