7artisans 50 mm f/16 - 1.05, Canon RF

This lens features a fixed focal length that cannot be changed. Prime lenses offer a high light intensity, allowing you to take good pictures even in less than optimal lighting conditions. They are particularly suitable when you want to capture specific and characteristic image compositions. Thanks to the large possible aperture, a shallower depth of field can be achieved. This allows you to optimally isolate subjects from the background by deliberately using sharpness and blur.

This lens can only be focused manually. Although manual focusing takes longer and is more demanding than working with autofocus, it does offer several advantages: it allows you to precisely focus on the point you want, enabling shots that match your exact vision. In situations where autofocus would struggle—such as in low light, on smooth surfaces with little texture, or in foggy weather—you will prefer to focus manually.
