The CANON EF 50MM F/1.8 STM LENS (part number 0570C002) is a standard and medium telephoto prime lens designed for Canon EF cameras. It offers a fixed 50mm focal length, which translates to an 80mm effective focal length on APS-C sensors and 50mm on full-frame cameras. This lens is suitable for users requiring a compact and lightweight option for various photographic applications, including portraits, action shots, and low-light scenarios. Its f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for effective performance in dim conditions and facilitates the creation of images and movies with background blur, supported by a circular 7-blade diaphragm. The integrated stepping motor (STM) provides near-silent continuous autofocus for video recording and smooth, rapid autofocus for still photography. An updated optical design with new lens coatings aims to improve color balance and reduce ghosting and flare. The lens also features a redesigned exterior with enhanced focus ring placement and a minimum focusing distance of 1.15 feet (0.35m).
This lens is compatible with Canon EF cameras. It can be used on both full-frame and APS-C EOS camera bodies.
On an APS-C camera, this 50mm lens provides an effective focal length of 80mm. On full-frame cameras, it remains 50mm.
This lens is ideal for portraits, action photography, and nighttime photography due to its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture and ability to perform well in low-light conditions.
The lens has an improved minimum focusing distance of 1.15 feet (0.35m) and offers a maximum magnification of 0.21x.
