Product Details
+The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM compact prime lens is a versatile and all-purpose lens. Its f/1.8 aperture makes it suitable for different lighting conditions and offers excellent control over the depth of field!
For everyday walkaround shooting, the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is an ideal lens. This 50mm f/1.8 lens is characterized by its bright design for apt depth of field control and light shooting. The optical design of the lens incorporates one aspherical element, which reduces spherical distortion and aberrations and minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. It also possesses a Super Spectra coating. Also, there is an STM motor that offers smooth autofocus performance and impressively quiet and full-time manual focus override. You can adjust the aperture, exposure settings, and exposure compensation, including ISO, from the lens itself, using the additional configurable Control Ring present in the lens.
Our Take on the The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM:
The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a sleek and standard-length, versatile, prime that gives you a classic field of view. It is compact, close-focusing, and lightweight, and can be used with any full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras. The bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 offers increased control over the depth of field and suits working in difficult lighting conditions. Precise subject rendering and increased sharpness can be obtained using the precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element that minimizes spherical aberrations and distortions. The metal RF mount is attractive and is well-shaped for mounting and dismounting the lens.
The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM minimizes ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions. The individual elements have a Super Spectra coating applied to them. Smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus is possible with the device, thanks to the STM stepping motor, which is highly convenient regardless of whether you are shooting a still or doing a video recording. Configurable Control Ring can be used by the user to adjust a variety of exposure settings, exposure compensation, aperture, and ISO. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm does contribute to a pleasing bokeh quality. The RF 50mm f/1.8 lens's slightly-textured exterior barrel also has an aesthetic quality, as does the straight exterior diameter of this design.
Usually, Front-focusing lens designs extend while focusing. However, at minimum focus distance, the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens reaches its maximum 0.53" (13.4mm) extension. To ensure that the prime lens is fully retracted after use, the lens enables the "Retract lens on power off" setting in the camera menu. When the camera is on and focused at infinity, unusual results may occur when pushing the lens cap on. The lens attempts to go in while the motor tries to push it back out. Such thrust on the motor can affect the durability of the device and hence using the cap must be with care.
