Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

sehr kompaktes Objektiv mit 50 mm Festbrennweite und mit F1.8 noch guter Lichtstärke.

I’ve waited a few months to write this review since at first I went back and forth about this “nifty fifty” and I’m rather new to photography. But after lots of research I went ahead and made the purchase and let me so IT’S SO WORTH IT. I’ve not had expensive lenses so I can’t give an accurate comparison but for the price, it’s such an amazing lens. It takes some time getting use to it, especially since it’s a prime lens and you’re “zooming” in with your feet. The more I use it, the more I love it.

I am a beginner photographer videographer and this lens has helped tremendously with getting depth of field with my limited experience.

Yes! I love this! Only bad thing I can say is that you cant zoom in or out at all. Great focus

Image quality is great.

This is a very difficult 5 star review. If I could give it a 4.75, I would. The only thing reducing this lens from a full 5 stars, is that the STM technology is mostly lost on this lens, when coupled with my T6i. The autofocus is not fast. It does occasionally hunt, and it is not silent. Ive made sample videos focusing both manually and automatically and it is very audible with the in-built mic. This may be avoided with a hot shoe mounted Rode mic or something similar, and definitely avoided with external mics and what not. This is pretty easily overlooked for the fact that you can get this lens for about $125 new, as Im writing this review, and $100 or less used. Otherwise, this lens is fantastic, given its intended purpose. The STM motor and associated focus-by-wire focus ring is very smooth, and not too inaccurate vs better built lenses. It features a metal mount, much better by comparison than the plastic mount nifty fifty of old. Optically, the lens is very sharp. Among the sharpest of my lenses. It does have a large amount of focus breathing, which is something to be aware of. With the large 1.8 aperture, it does very well in low light, despite lacking IS. If this lens had Image Stabilization as well, itd be dynamite. I use it for light portraiture, as I dont do that sorta thing too often, areas of light and otherwise photos where I want decent bokeh at a good price.

I enjoy this Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens for portraits on a Crop, APS-C x1.6, Sensor. Its equivlent to a 80mm f/2.9 on a Canon Crop, APS-C x1.6, Sensor.

My go-to lens for life!

Love it.

This is my first fixed lens. I cant tell you how close I came to returning it. I just couldnt get along with it.
