The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is one of the most versatile and accessible prime lenses in Canon's lineup. Often called the "nifty fifty," this compact standard lens delivers professional image quality at a fraction of the cost of faster primes. With a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, STM autofocus motor, and updated optical coatings, it's a go-to choice for photographers looking to expand beyond kit zoom lenses.
Compact and lightweight, this outstanding walk-around lens is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras and 50mm on full-frame cameras, it's an excellent prime lens for portraits, action and nighttime photography.
The 50mm focal length closely matches human vision, making it natural and comfortable to work with. On full-frame cameras, it's ideal for street photography, environmental portraits, and documentary work. On APS-C bodies, the 80mm equivalent field of view makes it particularly strong for headshots, product photography, and isolating subjects.
Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 helps it not only to excel in low light, but also to capture gorgeous, sharp images and movies with smooth bokeh thanks to its rounded 7-blade design. An updated lens arrangement with improved lens coatings renders images with excellent color balance, plus minimized ghosting and flare. Performance is brilliant, with a stepping motor (gear-type STM) to deliver near silent, continuous Movie Servo AF for movies plus speedy, smooth AF for stills.
The STM motor operates quietly and smoothly, making this lens well-suited for video recording as well as still photography. Full-time manual focus override allows quick adjustments even while in autofocus mode. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.35m (1.15 ft) and maximum magnification of 0.21x, you can work closer to your subject than with many other standard primes.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM uses a 49mm filter thread, making it compatible with a wide range of affordable filters and lens accessories. Pair it with UV filters for protection, polarizers for reflections and contrast control, or neutral density filters for long exposures. The optional ES-68 lens hood helps reduce flare when shooting in bright conditions.
This lens mounts to all Canon cameras with the EF mount, including both full-frame and APS-C bodies. Protect your lens during transport with a dedicated lens case, and consider adding a camera bag to keep your complete kit organized.
This lens serves photographers at every skill level. Beginners appreciate its affordability and ability to create professional-looking images with shallow depth of field. Hobbyists use it for portraits, street photography, and low-light work where zoom lenses struggle. Working professionals keep it in their kits as a lightweight backup or for situations requiring minimal gear.
The 50mm focal length makes it particularly well-suited for environmental portraits, event photography, food photography, and general-purpose shooting. Video creators benefit from the smooth, quiet STM autofocus during recording. Students and educators often recommend it as the first prime lens for learning composition and understanding how aperture affects depth of field.
Yes. This is an EF-mount lens, making it fully compatible with all Canon EOS cameras, both full-frame and APS-C. On full-frame bodies, it provides a true 50mm field of view. On APS-C cameras, the crop factor results in an 80mm equivalent field of view.
The f/1.8 maximum aperture gathers significantly more light than typical f/3.5-5.6 kit zoom lenses, making it capable in low-light situations without requiring high ISO settings or slow shutter speeds. This aperture also provides control over depth of field for subject isolation.
Yes. The STM motor provides smooth, near-silent autofocus during video recording, and the full-time manual focus override allows precise adjustments. The bright aperture helps maintain clean footage in lower light.
The STM version includes an upgraded autofocus motor for quieter, smoother operation during stills and video. It also features a rounded 7-blade aperture (versus 5 blades in the previous model), improved Super Spectra coatings, metal mount construction, and closer minimum focusing distance.
Yes. The f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for smooth bokeh and subject isolation, particularly effective for portrait photography and situations where you want to blur distracting backgrounds.
With sharp image quality, reliable autofocus, and unbeatable value, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM deserves a spot in every Canon photographer's bag. Whether you're exploring prime lenses for the first time or adding a reliable standard to your collection, this lens delivers consistent results across a wide range of photography and video applications.
