Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM - camera lenses
A wide aperture lens for high quality portraits and low light photos.
The wide f/1.8 aperture of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM gives you the ability to bring your subject into sharp focus and blur the background. Photographers refer to this as a ‘narrow depth of field’ and makes your subject stand out which is great for portraits, as people become the clear focus of your shot.

At a fast 1.8. the Canon "nifty fifty" (Mk II) always had a place in my camera bag. Sadly I dropped mine last week, and an internal plastic lug snapped. Time for a replacement.
I settled on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as the obvious choice. Same aperture, but some changes: it is a little shorter, has a 49mm filter ring rather than 52mm, and a metal rather than plastic mount, which should mean it is more robust. Oh, and the "Stepper Motor Technology" focusing is very quiet.
I've been taking sample pictures, some of which are posted here. The first two macro shots are heavily cropped: the lens focuses down to 0.35 metres as opposed to the Mk II's 0.45 metres: an appreciable difference. the others are uncropped. The thistle and foxglove pictures taken at f1.8 show the bokeh the lens can produce. The two buildings photos are taken at f8/f9.
I am very happy with the lens: it is a great replacement for the Mk II 1.8. And. like its predecessor, stunning value for money. In terms of "bang for buck", I don't think you can do better.

I did a bit of research and soon stumbled upon the Canon fixed 50 f1.8. I read other reviews, watched YouTube videos and almost everyone was singing its praises. A few weeks later, after attaching it to my camera, it has become my main lens. In fact, I only use this lens. The kit lens is in the bag and hasn't seen the light of day since I put this one on the body. It is absolutely fantastic. I can now snap night scenes handheld and the depth of field is astounding. If I were to recommend any lens to amateurs like me... I'd say this must be the first one you should buy. It has made my photography look much more professional and the image quality is very very good. I can honestly say it is the best £99 I've spent on photography.
If you want to purchase a second or third lens (even if just keeping it to a trinity of 3 lenses, a tele and a versatile zoom lens in the middle range), then this could be the right one.
This 'nifty fifty' is cheap and offers loads of value for money, especially in terms of sharp focus and bukeh (the blurred look you get with professional lenses).
Given its focal range (50mm) which offers you close to normal eye vision (assuming you have a uncropped sensor), you could use the lens for portraits, close ups and details and street photography.
The consensus is that this is one of the best editions of this classic, old time lens, and better value for money than the equivalent f1.4 or even f1.2 that cost a disproportionate amount more.
Unless you need quite a wide angle or a long reach, you can't go wrong with this lens and it's a well worth addition to your camera bag.
being more into the zoom lenses it did take some time to adjust to the fixed focal length and using my feet as the zoom but for the image results its worth it.
REMEMBER its under£100!
- its light and compact
- wide apreture of f1.8
- image quality is competes with the canon L series
- THE PRICE!!!
it has an all plastic, almost toy-like body top to front to back but as long as your not just lobbing it about theres no reason to be concerned
It is a good lens for low light photography, especially indoors. Note that the filter thread does not rotate on autofocus, so you can happily use a polarising filter.
This is a great introduction to photography with a prime lens.

L'autofocus fonctionne bien, penser à passer en priorité ouverture et à régler l'ouverture correctement.
Belles photos en intérieur sans flash, c'est ce que je voulais. idéal pour du portrait et du paysage, un peu l'objectif à tout faire, mais qui le fait bien.
Excellent rapport qualité/prix.
