Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

Let me say this first, the image quality is excellent and the f-1.8 aperture makes beautiful bokeh effects. Heres the problem: This lens is insanely loud. Whenever the lens adjusts its focus you can hear the motor straining. Unfortunately for me, I bought this lens to shoot video for my vlog, and it is completely unusable for that. I have to sit extremely still and nothing can be moving nearby or else you hear the motor go off. I literally came back to the order page after the first time I used it to make sure it was a STM lens, which it is! Unbelievable. It is louder than all of USM lens.

Sharp and clear, but the AF is not always as responsive as I would have hoped for.

Love this lens for my food photography!!

sharp and quick to focus...for the price great lens!

I love this lens. There are definitely better quality 50mm lenses but this one is great.

LOVED this lens. Perfect for bokeh shots. Growing my photography business and it’s a perfect interchangeable lens.

This is a must have lens for your camera bag. The lens comes with protective covers for both ends. I have been taking excellent portrait shots with it and it is basically my go-to lens for street photography. I almost went with the f/1.4 but personally I couldnt find a big enough difference between the two for what I do. This lens is a bit slower to focus than the f/1.4 and the motor is louder but with portrait photography that makes no difference to me. If you are doing video with this lens an external mic should eliminate the sounds of the motor. One of the best things about the lens is the amazing bokeh effects that I have been able to produce (that blurry background/foreground) and that makes for some awesome shots. Again the STM is a bit loud and the focus a bit slow but for the price and the quality of this lens, it is completely justifiable. I use this on the Canon Rebel T6i. If youre a Youtuber, this is a great lens as long as your camera is mounted to a tripod, not so much for walk around vlogging. When shooting video who uses autofocus anyway. If you are a portrait shooter, you will love this lens and it will surely become one of your favorites! If you have found my review helpful, please let me know! Happy shooting!

Super padre el lente, solo considera q no puedes hacer zoom con el

Solid lens overall. Takes decently sharp images. It like the new STM version over the older 50mm that canon has. This one feels a little nicer and not quite as cheap as the older model. Definitely worth the $10 to get this one. A nice portrait lens. If you have never shot a fixed lens it is a different feeling. You have to get used to not being able to zoom and how to maneuver your positioning as well as the subjects position. However, with this comes a nice sharp image. For the price it is hard to beat a solid canon lens!
