Canon EF 50/1.8 STM-CH Warranty

Artistic and striking photography

With the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, the high f/1.8 aperture allows you to highlight a razor-sharp subject against an attractive background blur. Photographers call this "shallow depth of field." This way of highlighting a subject is ideal for expressive portraits, as it makes the person the central focal point of the shot.

Letting more light onto the sensor

The high f/1.8 aperture lets more than 8 times as much light onto the sensor than the standard zoom lens purchased in kit with your EOS camera (Compared to the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM at the same focal length). This allows for sharper shots with less motion blur and reduces the need for flash use - easily capturing the natural atmosphere in darker environments.

For portraits and everyday use

The 50mm focal length enables image-filling subject representation even from a distance. This makes the lens ideal for portrait photography. Its angle of view, which is comparable to the human eye, and its compact dimensions make the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great lens for everyday use that you can always carry with your EOS camera.

Razor-sharp photos and video

Near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) focusing brings photos into focus quickly, so you can capture even fleeting moments quickly and confidently. STM technology is also ideal for high-quality video recording: It enables smooth and virtually silent focus tracking. This makes video recordings particularly quiet, and sound recordings are not disturbed by noise from the focus motor.

The rebirth of a classic

The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II, a lens that achieved popularity with its exceptional image quality at an affordable price. This latest version offers the same impressive image quality, plus a fast, virtually silent focus drive and a more robust construction at what remains a surprisingly affordable price.
