Product details

The EF 1:1.8/50mm STM features an improved technical design compared to its predecessor: the Canon Super Spectra coating reduces ghosting, the 7-blade iris diaphragm creates soft bokeh effects, and the Canon Stepping Motor (STM) ensures continuous and nearly silent autofocus. Compact, lightweight, and affordable, the EF 1:1.8/50mm STM is a welcome addition to any camera bag. With a high aperture of 1:1.8, it allows for precise control over depth of field, enabling creative freedom to focus on the subject while blurring the rest of the image. This directs the viewer's attention immediately to a specific area of the picture. Additionally, the lens is well-suited for low-light conditions due to its large maximum aperture. With a focal length of 50mm, it is ideal for portrait photography when used with an EOS DSLR featuring an APS-C sensor. The EF 1:1.8/50mm STM is also a practical lens for a variety of everyday tasks on full-frame cameras, providing a natural field of view and perspective. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 35 cm, allowing for closer proximity to the subject and achieving a higher magnification ratio. The 7-blade iris diaphragm creates attractive light reflections in the out-of-focus background. The improved image quality compared to the previous model is thanks to the Canon Super Spectra coating, which effectively reduces lens flare and stray light. The lens has a compact and lightweight design, weighing only 160 grams, making it easy to carry without significantly adding to the overall weight of the gear. The new design of the lens is suitable for both beginner and semi-professional photographers.

Very good83/100
Rank 6 out of 21Stiftung Warentest21 Objektive 01/2016ReleaseJanuary 2016

Auch wenn es sich beim Canon EF 50 mm f/1,8 Stm um kein perfektes Objektiv mit fester Brennweite handelt, einen guten Eindruck hat das Modell im Test durchaus hinterlassen. Es kann mit einer sehr guten Auflösung punkten, Verzeichnungen sind kaum zu erkennen und auch der Randschärfeabfall bekommt die Note sehr gut...
