The EF 1:1.8/50mm STM has an improved technical design compared to its predecessor. Canon's Super Spectra coating reduces side effects, while the 7-louvre aperture creates a smooth out-of-focus effect. The Stepping Motor (STM) ensures continuous and virtually silent autofocus. Compact, lightweight and affordable, the EF 1:1.8/50mm STM is a valuable addition to your camera bag. With a high aperture of f/1.8, this lens allows precise control of depth of field, giving you the creative freedom to focus on the subject and immerse the rest of the image in a soft blur. This draws the viewer's eye to a specific area of the image. In addition, the large initial aperture makes it ideal for use in low light conditions. The focal length of 50 mm is particularly suitable for portrait photography in combination with an EOS DSLR with APS-C sensor. The EF 1:1.8/50mm STM is also practical for full-frame cameras and offers a natural-looking angle of view as well as the appropriate perspective for various everyday tasks.
The lens has a closest focusing distance of just 35cm, allowing you to get closer to the subject and achieve a higher image scale. The 7-blade diaphragm ensures appealing light reflections with a blurred background. The improved image quality compared to the previous model is thanks to the Canon Super Spectra coating, which effectively reduces aperture reflections and stray light. At just 160 grams, the lens has a compact and lightweight design that fits easily into your camera bag without significantly increasing the overall weight of your equipment. The new design is compatible with both entry-level and semi-professional EOS cameras and features a metal lens mount for a robust connection to the camera body. In addition, the manual focus ring allows precise control of the focal plane.

Source: Digitec GalaxusAuch 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...
