Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

Compact, Sharp, and Versatile: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a lightweight and powerful normal lens compatible with all Canon EF‑mount cameras, including both APS‑C and full-frame models. On APS‑C cameras, it delivers an effective focal length of 80mm—ideal for portraits—while maintaining a classic 50mm look on full-frame bodies.

Brilliant Low‑Light Performance: The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers exceptional low‑light capability and enables beautifully soft background blur, perfect for portraits, action shots, and nighttime photography.

Smooth & Quiet Autofocus: The advanced STM (Stepping Motor) autofocus system provides fast, accurate, and nearly silent focusing—excellent for both still photography and video recording.

Easy to Use & Travel‑Friendly: Designed with a compact build and improved focus ring, this lens allows precise manual adjustments while remaining highly portable. With a minimum focusing distance of 14 inches and a maximum magnification of 0.21x, it’s ideal for everyday shooting.
