EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens International Version (No Warranty)

The product is fine

Amazing lens. It is pretty wide so you don't have to move around. At 2.8 with high ISO, its good at night time also. Silent focusing compared to 50mm 1.8. And its very thin! I use it on a 5D, and its much better compared to the 50 mm 1.8. At night I sometimes miss the 1.8, but then the focusing is much faster on this, and silent as well, so in all, its a nicer buy. Plus with high ISOs, you are usually Ok. There is more noise, but then the added convenience is a good tradeoff. For a full frame, its a very sweet deal. Pictures are sharp, colours are great. I am getting peanuts for the 50mm, so I still use it sometimes when I know I would need the 1.8 but those occasions are becoming less and less.

Prima lens voor portretfotografie! Zeer content mee.

以前使ってましたが、マウント変更で一回手放しました。今更またレフ機がやってきましたので、再購入。まずカメラに付けてもレンズの重さが無いので、取り回しがいい。フルサイズ機なので40mmの画角は、広すぎず、狭すぎずで、またよれるのもいいです。ディスコンになったのは残念ですが、フルサイズレフ機のスナップ写真を昼間撮るのにいいレンズだと思います。出てくる描画もパンケーキレンズらしい。センターと周辺の差が個性を感じるレンズです。

A brilliant lens for anyone looking to up their photography game! Every photo you take with this lens between an aperture range of 1.8 to 3.2 will have the nice depth of field which makes the subject pop in any image. I had to do photography for my cousin's engagement and all I had in my arsenal were a Canon SL2/200D (crop sensor), 18-55mm Kit lens (28-80mm in crop sensor) and a 75-300mm telephoto lens (120-480mm in crop sensor). I knew very well that these lens and camera combination were not the best for a event photography. (trust me! I've tried! The results were not so great) and I was sceptical about renting lenses as I could not be as light headed as I usually am with my own lenses. So, I ordered the 50mm f/1.8 lens on 26th April, 2019 and got it on 27th April, a day before the engagement ceremony (Kudos to Amazon delivery). I tested the lens a day before the engagement and on the day of the engagement, 90% of the photoshoot was done with the 50mm prime lens with 18-55mm lens used only for wide angle group shots. The absence of image stabilisation is not an issue as the lens is light in weight. So, yes, the nifty fifty is a one size fits all kind of lens. However, my camera had a crop sensor (1.5~1.6X), which means the 50mm was actually giving me the field of view of an 80mm focal length. This meant that I had to physically move around a bit to get the framing right. If you have a full frame camera, 50mm would have the field of view of a 50mm. This field of view difference had me over thinking about whether to buy the 24mm f/2.8 (38mm in crop sensor) or the 50mm f/1.8. I finally pulled the plug on the 24mm, bought 50mm because of the 1.8 aperture and decided to compromise on the field of view. Also, the 50mm STM had 7 aperture blades which meant the bokeh would be nearly rounded. In the end, the pictures came out great and had that 'Professional Photographer Click' look to it, everyone loved it. This made the investment totally worth it. The only drawback with this lens would be the auto focus. While it is silent because of the STM motor, it is not the fastest. I did the entire day's photoshoot with Manual focus and the results were really good. So, I would suggest that you use this lens with manual focus only. So, in conclusion, if you are person who wants a relatively inexpensive lens with nice bokeh and depth of field, this lens is just hard to beat. (I will not be sharing photos from the engagement to protect the privacy of the people involved. But, I will share some unedited sample photos to give you an idea about the quality you get from the 50mm prime lens.)
