Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens 0570C005

One of the most versatile focal lengths available, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens pairs this classic lens design wi... moreth enhancements to the AF system and physical design that make it both faster and smaller. Utilizing an STM stepping motor, this lens is ideal for both still and video shooting due to its speedy and smooth operation. Further benefitting video shooters, the STM motor also supports the Movie Servo AF mode on select DSLRs for precise and near-silent focusing. An updated exterior design includes a metal lens mount and a re-located focusing ring in order to accommodate the compact overall form factor. The 50mm f/1.8 is a classic, tested lens design, and thanks to enhanced autofocus and a svelte profile, this lens is ideal for everyday shooting in a wide variety of conditions. The optical design of this lens incorporates optimized coatings that help to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color neutrality. The f/1.8 maximum aperture is effective for low-light shooting as well as for controlling your focus plane for selective focus shooting. Seven rounded diaphragm blades further enhance the look of out of focus regions in an image, making it well-suited to portraiture and creative environmental shooting.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Canon 50mm f/1.8 EF STM lens is highly praised for its affordability and quality, making it a popular choice for both beginners and professionals. Users appreciate its sharpness, color accuracy, and fast autofocus, although some note that the autofocus can occasionally miss. The lens is lightweight and compact, with a metal bayonet mount that adds to its durability. While the maximum aperture of f/1.8 is not always considered fully functional, stopping down slightly improves sharpness significantly. The lens is particularly favored for portrait photography due to its pleasing bokeh and precise focus. However, it lacks image stabilization and a lens hood, which some users find necessary. Overall, the Canon 50mm f/1.8 EF STM is seen as an excellent budget-friendly option with a few minor drawbacks, offering great value for its price.

One of the best portrait lenses for Canon. Focus is accurate, but the bokeh leaves much to be desired.
Precise focusing, does not darken.

The successor to the legendary Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens has received a number of useful improvements to keep up with the times, since this version of the lens was released back in 1990.

Innovations

Perhaps the main innovation is encrypted in the name of the “fifty kopecks” — the STM symbols in its marking indicate the use of a fast and quiet focus stepper motor. With the new drive, the lens began to accurately focus in almost all cases, and the percentage of autofocus misses inexorably crept down (compared to its predecessor). Equally important was the appearance of a metal bayonet mount instead of an unreliable plastic one, as well as an increase in aperture blades (from 5 to 7), due to which objects in the blur zone acquired more rounded outlines instead of not always appropriate "nuts".

Picture

In the process of shooting, it is advisable to cover the aperture of the lens to f / 2.2-2.8, because the maximum open hole cannot be called a working one. And if you cover up even more (up to about f / 5.6-8), then even the most severe critic will not be able to find fault with the sharpness of the image. Also, the lens is not subject to chromatic aberrations and is not particularly afraid of light. In general, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM produces a picture with excellent colour reproduction and characteristic harsh bokeh.

Demand

The fix is equally well revealed both on Canon cropped DSLRs (with an APS-C format sensor) and on full-frame cameras from the Japanese manufacturer. Its resolution is enough even to work in tandem with the multi-megapixel "monster" Canon EOS 5DS. But what potential owners of the lens may not like is the “proboscis” that leaves when focus, sucking dust into the structure and somewhat limiting the use of filters. In other respects, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM does not raise any complaints, which, together with a reasonable cost, elevates the lens to the rank of one of the most sought-after fixes of our time.
