    Amazing for street photography and portraits. These are the photos I took with the 50mm lens.

    For only $150, you get a very high quality portrait lens (it even has a metal mount). The difference between this one and the f/1.4 does not look to be worth getting the 1.4

    Several years ago, when Id bought my first Canon DSLR, I quickly got my hands on the plastic fantastic 50mm that was on the market at the time. It was a great all-around lens; sharp, fast, and cheap. However, the cheap aspect of that model was pretty evident. It was mostly plastic made, had a basically non-existent grip for manual focus, and had an overall flimsy feel.

    This is seriously one sharp lens! I have a Canon T5 and Ive been using my kit lens for a while but My photos werent as sharp as I wanted them to be. The price for this lens seemed too good t be true so I bought it expecting it to be a tiny bit better, but to my surprise, this lens is a 10 out of 10! It automatically improved my photos drastically and changed the way I shoot. Since this lens has no zoom, you have to move around to get the shot that you want and that makes you a better photographer. My camera has a cropped sensor so this lens gives a natural vignette to my photos. Its really stunning. The 1.8 aperture is beautiful as you would imagine and the low light advantage is perfect and sharp!! Oh yeah, did I mention this lens was sharp?

    Very nice magnifier

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.

EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Compact 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.
