Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard & Medium Telephoto EOS Prime Lens

Compact and lightweight- an outstanding walk-around lens- Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (Item Code 0570C002) 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.
