With the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens، you can easily produce more artistic and impactful photography thanks to a wide f/1.8 aperture that produces a sharp focus on your subject and a beautiful، blurred background.
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 makes your subject stand out which is great for portraits، as people become the clear focus of your shot. 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 makes the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera.
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.
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.
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is the lightest EF lens in the range، weighing a mere 130g.
- Its Gaussian optics provide sharp images at all focusing distances as well as excellent colour balance and contrast.
- The lens features a built-in AF motor to provide fast، direct AF performance.
- It includes an electromagnetic diaphragm، which ensures the right mechanical aperture position is achieved every time.
- A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out-of-focus regions a softer، more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background. Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
