Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

Great lens for the price. Used it on my Canon 80d

Deliver was quick.

Its a camera lense. It does what its supposed to do. No complaints.

Probably one of the best lenses to have in your kit. Its small and light weight and pretty inexpensive, especially for the quality it gives. Its perfect for nearly every situation.I had one for my husbands camera, which is a Nikon, before getting a Canon and buying this 50mm Lens and I must say, I like this one much better. The fact that you can use auto focus with this lens, whereas the Nikon 50mm for a manual focus only, make this lens leaps and bounds better.

Perfect

I had the older EF 50mm f/1.8 II which I was never happy with, so decided to try the STM version. Mechanically the STM is so much better, smoother quieter focusing and much better build quality. Unfortunately optically its no better than the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, wide open its soft, really soft. It only really sharpens up when stopped down to f/5.6. Even then Ive got an f/4.0 zoom which out performs it. You can get interesting effects at f/1.8 or f/2.0, but when even the centre isnt sharp its not a lens I can find a use for.

Ive had the Canon 50mm 1.4, and now this lens. and I can honestly say this one is better. This one focuses fast, its small, looks great, is bitingly sharp, even wide open. and can easily be used professionally. I bought this just to have a lens, any lens on the front of my Canon 6D, but its amazing. Ill be keeping this one. My 50mm 1.4 USM lens had major, major backfocusing problems, which Ive read is not uncommon for that lens. I ended up selling it, even though it was a sharp lens. The focusing was terrible. This one is dead on, sharp, and contrasty. Its also probably the cheapest lens you can buy. If shot wide open, its VERY sharp in the center, and there is definitely some slight vignetting (although it looks good in portraits, which is presumably what youd be shooting wide open), and a swirly quality to the bokeh. I was taken aback by it, but its cool. Almost Lensbaby-ish. Definitely get this lens!!!

Seriously, if you own a Canon camera (DSLR or mirrorless, APS-C or full-frame) then you should definitely own this lens. In fact, it should probably be the first lens that is purchased after having a kit-lens that was provided with your camera body. Very sharp, light, and relatively small - a perfect lens to just leave on your camera most of the time! Any potential downsides (not the fastest aperture lens, plastic build) are wiped away by the low cost and very good image quality! Oh, it doesnt come with a lens hood and the Canon OEM hoods are ridiculously expensive. Just find a good third-party hood on Amazon for 1/5 of the cost of the Canon hood.

Love the lens build and quality but dislike the manual focus

Probably the best price to quality ratio lens I own
