Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM - Import
Canon EF, full sizeProduct details
The EF f/1.8/50mm STM features an improved technical design over its predecessor, with Canon's Super Spectra coating to reduce ghosting, a 7-blade iris diaphragm for smooth blur effects, and Canon's Stepping Motor (STM) for continuous and virtually silent autofocus. Compact, lightweight, and affordable, the EF f/1.8/50mm STM is a welcome addition to your camera bag.
Its fast f/1.8 aperture allows for precise control over depth of field, giving you the creative freedom to focus on your subject while immersing the rest of the frame in a soft blur. This allows the viewer's eye to be instantly drawn to a specific area of the image. Furthermore, with its large aperture, the lens is ideal for use in low light conditions.
With a focal length of 50 mm, the lens is very suitable in combination with an EOS DSLR with APS-C camera for people shots with typical portrait framing. Even on full-frame cameras, the EF f/1.8/50mm STM is a practical lens for a wide range of everyday tasks with a natural-looking angle of view and perspective.
The lens offers a close focus distance of just 35 cm, allowing you to get even closer to the subject and achieve a higher image scale. The 7-blade iris diaphragm provides attractive light reflections when the image background is blurred. The improved image quality of the lens compared to its predecessor is due to Canon's Super Spectra coating, which efficiently reduces aperture reflections and flare.
The lens has a compact and lightweight design, weighing only 160 grams. It fits easily in the camera bag without significantly affecting the overall weight of the equipment. The design of the lens fits both entry-level and semi-professional EOS cameras and features a metal lens bayonet for a robust connection to the camera body. In addition, the lens allows the freedom to precisely control the plane of focus with its manual focus ring.
