Discreet, lightweight and compact, Great, doanything lens for beginners, Max aperture of f/1.8, Plenty of creative possibilities, thanks to the depth of field, STM stepping motor, Little distortion, Picture quality at f/8
Not sharp enough below f/4, No optical stabilization, Pretty noticeable vignetting at max aperture
This new 50mm lens is a perfect way into prime-lens photography: it's relatively cheap and you can be pretty confident in the product you're getting. Picture quality isn't breathtaking, and photos are a bit too soft, but its max aperture of f/1.8 allows y...
The EF 50mm f/1.8 II has long been due a replacement and the arrival of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has been met with great interest from the Canon faithful. The addition of the STM motor delivers a much quieter performance, and although its not entirely silen...

Canon's EF 50mm f1.8 STM finally upgrades the 24 year old EF 50mm f1.8 II with smoother focusing, more rounded aperture blades, closer focusing and a tougher lens mount. Like its predecessor, it'll gather over eight times more light than a typical kit zoom, ma...
It's probably not as sharp as some people would like when used wide open, but stopped down to ƒ/2.8 or ƒ/4, it's as sharp as sharp gets. For the price point, you really can't go wrong with this lens, and it's a welcome improvement in sharpness over the pr...

Sharp at f/1.8. Lightweight. Silent, smooth video focus. Very affordable.
Modest barrel distortion. Slower focus. Can flare. Some fall-off at wide aperture. Omits stabilization. Narrower field of view on APS-C cameras. Hood not included
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is the company's least expensive lens. It's an excellent value, even if it does have some flaws...
excellent image quality in the frame centre, decent image quality on the edge of the frame, very good control of the chromatic aberration, moderate distortion, slight vignetting on the APSC, moderate astigmatism, silent and accurate autofocus, very good p
huge vignetting on full frame, very high level of coma.
When compared to its predecessor the new Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 STM features several crucial assets. They are especially visible when it comes to the build quality and the casing. With the newer model you get a metal mount, a bit more compact body and a man...
