Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, a great lens for great portraits
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens lets you capture your subjects as they stand out against a blurry and defocused background. At the same time, it also lets you shoot objects in fine detail without having to zoom in uncomfortably close and risk an unnatural expression on the face of the person being photographed. By attaching the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM to the full-size EOS, it'll function as a standard lens and provide a perspective similar to that of the human eye.
Fast, virtually silent STM focusing with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
While shooting, the almost silent STM focusing works very fast, allowing you to respond immediately to the situation and capture fleeting moments. When filming videos, it offers smoother and slower focusing to help deliver that cinematic look you need.
Outstanding results in low light conditions with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens boasts a high aperture so poor lighting won't ever stop you. On the contrary, it will give your photos a unique atmosphere and you'll fall in love with the resulting effect.
Very sharp images
The fixed focus lens captures beautiful images, whether you are taking photos or shooting videos. Due to excellent contrast and sharpness, as well as low distortion, you can achieve more natural-looking results. The glass elements of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM are tailor-made with Canon Super Spectra coatings applied.
Compact, travel-ready design of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens
The compact Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens weighs just 160g and is only 40mm big, so it takes up a minimum amount of space. The manual focus touch ring is handy and easy to find even when shooting through the viewfinder.
