Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Canon EF 50mm

Artistic and impactful photography.
The wide f/1.8 aperture of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM gives you the ability to bring your subject into sharp focus and blur the background. Photographers refer to this as a ‘narrow depth of field’ and make your subject stand out which is great for portraits, as people become the clear focus of your shot.

Let more light in.
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.

For portraits and everyday use.
The 50mm focal length, which is 4 times lower compared to the more expensive Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens, 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 makes the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera.

Sharp focus for photos and videos.
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.
