Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Wide aperture lens for high-quality portraits and low-light photography

With the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens, whose wide f/1.8 aperture brings your subject into sharp focus and beautifully blurs its background, you can easily create more fleshed-out and impressive photographs.

The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens is perfect for:

• For portraits

Ideal for capturing the facial expressions of friends and family at weddings, events and parties

• In the twilight

The perfect choice for darker environments - great for nightscapes, fireworks and indoor photography

• Daily

Capture life unfolding before your eyes - from city streets to emotions at events

Artistic and impressive photography

The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM's wide f/1.8 aperture allows you to keep your subject in sharp focus and blur the background. Photographers call this a 'narrow depth of field'. It makes your subject stand out from the background, making it perfect for capturing sharply focused portraits of people.

Let in more light

The wide f/1.8 aperture lets in over 8x more light than the standard zoom lens that comes with your EOS*. This results in sharper images with less motion blur, less need for flash in low-light conditions, and allows you to easily capture the mood in low light.

For portraits and everyday use

The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject at a comfortable distance, making it a great lens for portraits. It provides a perspective similar to the human eye, and its compact size makes the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM easy to carry with your EOS camera.

Sharp focus for photos and videos

The near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses very quickly when shooting, so you can react to fleeting moments. STM makes it easier to shoot high-quality movies, as it provides stable and quiet continuous focus, so movies are smooth and only the ambient sounds are heard, not the noise of the focus motor.

A classic reborn

The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II, which was loved for its exceptional image quality at an affordable price. The latest version delivers the same stunning image quality, but features a fast and almost silent focus motor and a more robust construction that are not at all reflected in the price.
