Canon RF50mm F1.8 STM Lens, Fixed Focal Length Prime Lens, Compatible with EOS R Series Mirrorless Cameras, Black

The Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM lens has exceeded my expectations. It’s compact, lightweight, and delivers excellent image quality for the price. The wide f/1.8 aperture creates beautiful background blur (bokeh) and performs very well in low-light conditions, making it ideal for portraits, street photography, and indoor shooting.The autofocus is fast and quiet thanks to the STM motor, which also makes it a good choice for video. While the body is made of plastic, it feels solid and is very comfortable to use with RF-mount cameras like the EOS R50.Overall, this is a fantastic option whether you’re just getting started or looking for a bright prime lens without spending too much. Highly recommended to expand your gear on a budget.

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.

I love these lens. They work really well with my Canon R50, made me feel like a real photographer. I was new to camera and realize there’s a major difference between these and the kit lens. Very easy to use as well. Image quality is amazing

I love this lens, I have a entry level camera, R100, and with this lens my pictures look like I have an expensive one. Its a great quality lens, cheap and small and light weight which make's it great for travel photos. It ha a great built in stabilization and autofocus does wonders if you are a beginner. It does not have a a lot of bokeh but it will blur your subject's background in lower f. I take a lot of portraits and is my go to lens since I purchased it.

Small, lightweight, easy to carry on R6. It focuses well and produces sharp images. Great value for the price. Only issue is that the bokeh could be smoother.

I had recently sold my old camera setup and along with it my EF 50mm 1.8 (which I had been adapting to my current RF mount).I think this lens is performs exactly like the previous one: good depth of field, sharp wide open (on what’s in focus), good image reproduction. It’s lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap. Highly recommend this, as well as the RF 85mm F2 lens (the most expensive of the “low end” Canon primes). Those are my go-tos.The Canon pancake lenses are great options for folks who can’t drop $1200+ on a single lens.

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.

It’s a great lens to start with especially if you can only afford one! The quality is crisp and clear. It is very versatile.
