    Maybe I’m doing this wrong?! I did check it was compatible with my Canon eos T6 and it seemed like it was a tight fit! I felt like I was forcing it to be on my camera it appears so zoomed in already and it was hard for me to adjust the settings to test it out and get a good picture this is a gift so I’m glad I did this I might return it

    I bought this product looking for a new lens aside from my two kits lenses and it has preformed flawlessly! It takes gorgeous pictures and when used on a crop sensor camer such as my t3i it has a very pleasant focal range! It is terrific in lowlight and I would recommend it to anybody looking to upgrade from the kit lens (Although I will say Ive gotten some amazing pictures with the kit lenses)

    Very nice quality, and the price cannot be beat. I am by no means a professional and I have taken some quite good photos with this lens already.

    This lens is light weight, super sharp, and has amazing bokeh. If it came in a 10-12mm option Id get that too! The auto focus is fast and the manual focus is easy to use during night photos or day photos. I have no con list to give you!

    I’ve just received the lens with filter and lens hood today. But the filter and lens hood doesn’t fit the lens at all. Can not use. The filter is 52mm, the lens hood is 50mm while the lens is only 49mm.

    Un indispensable, étonnant de ne le trouver que trop rarement dans les kit lors de lachat dun ensemble boîtier objectif.

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.

From the Manufacturer

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.
