CanonRF50mm F1.8 STM Lens, Fixed Focal Length Prime Lens, Compatible with EOS R Series Mirrorless Cameras, Black

The Nifty Fifty is an incredible little lens that punches well above its price point. For portraits or isolating subjects, the sharpness and background blur it delivers are stunning. It’s lightweight, compact, and feels like the perfect travel companion for any photographer wanting something simple but powerful.That said, it’s not without its limitations. On an APS-C camera, the 50mm becomes more like a 75mm equivalent, so it feels quite "zoomed in." This makes it less practical for tight indoor spaces or wide shots when you're working in close quarters. If you’re in a small room and trying to fit a group of people or a wide scene into the frame, you’ll find yourself constantly backing up or hitting walls.Despite this, the Nifty Fifty is an essential tool if you understand what it’s built for. Its optical quality at this price is phenomenal, and it’s perfect for portraits, detail shots, or anything where compression and subject isolation shine. Just keep in mind the cropped field of view on APS-C sensors, and you’ll get a lot of joy out of this lens.

TL;DR: This lens is so much fun that I want to get more RF/RF-S lenses for my EOS R100. Highly recommend.I love the portraits my wife takes and enjoy taking pictures of objects in various depths of field. This lens has the ability to generate a good amount of blur on everything that it is not focusing on. It's not too much that you can't figure out what the background is but it's also not too little that it's in the same focus as the desired subject.It works right out of the box and forms a pretty tight fit on my EOS R100. The f1.8 allows me to use it in lower light situations so I'm able to capture my sister's cats lurking in the dark. The brightness is much more flexible than the lens that came with my EOS R100 kit.In my opinion, the build quality is better than my lens that came with my camera bundle. Although, when it's trying to focus on my subject while on Video mode, you can hear it adjusting in the playback. I was surprised at how noisy it was.But I am having fun with stills and don't really care for video recordings at the moment. For now, it's my daily lense until I get my hands on the RF70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Z. 🥹

Canons EF 50mm was legendary, as it’s price and weight couldn’t be beat, and this update to that for the new RF mount system is no different.I love how light and compact this lens is, and on a full-frame sensor 50mm is a fun focal length to play around with. The only ricky thing with this lens has more to do with the new focus/control ring system the RF cameras now have the ability to do. The ring on the lens can be swapped between focus mode or control ring mode, where the former works as expected (as long as your settings are set correctly in camera) and the latter allows you to select many different options (iso, apurture, shutter speed, etc) to control by simply twisting the ring. A handy feature, but one to get used to as focusing for so many years had my brain and hands programmed for that focusing function.Excellent value for what you get, and it’s a fast enough lens still as well to photograph in near pitch-black situations with usable results. The RF system is incredible.

This lens is very sharp. It’s a good addition to your gears without breaking the bank.

It looks and works great with fast delivery. Cannot think of anything negative

It's an inexpensive nifty fifty. The AF is finicky and slow, but works well. It does the autofocus electric song, and that's kind of my jam, so I don't mind. The camera's mic pics it up pretty well.It's a solid lens. I'm very happy with it, especially at the price point. I've spent more for less.Have some unedited shots with a Canon EOS R50 and the lens.

I've been using zoom lenses for many years, but wanted to try a prime lens and after reading so many positives on this lens, I bought it. I shoot with a Canon R6 and you do NOT need an adaptor for this lens to fit the camera and the pictures I've taken with it are super sharp!! Plus, the price is extremely affordable!The only challenge, where it's a prime lens, you can't zoom in or out, you have to position yourself and the camera a lot more to get the pictures you want. This lens has more of a "zoomed-in" look, so I found that I have to step back further than I'm used to, to get everything in frame. It takes a little getting used to, but the results of this F1.8 lens are very impressive and produce the type of sharpness I've been wanting to get in my photos.If you've been searching camera lenses, you know that they can be very expensive, so with the low price of this lens, it's worth giving a try.

This works great with my camera. The quality is so clear and it makes it so much easier to continue my photography dream. This is definitely worth the buy.
