  • It is easy to love a lens with perfect optical quality, best-available AF and first-class build quality. Start dropping any of those attributes and size, weight and price concessions are expected with the amount of the price concession being the all-impor...

  • Discreet, lightweight and compact, Great, doanything lens for beginners, Max aperture of f/1.8, Plenty of creative possibilities, thanks to the depth of field, STM stepping motor, Little distortion, Picture quality at f/8
  • Not sharp enough below f/4, No optical stabilization, Pretty noticeable vignetting at max aperture
  • This new 50mm lens is a perfect way into prime-lens photography: it's relatively cheap and you can be pretty confident in the product you're getting. Picture quality isn't breathtaking, and photos are a bit too soft, but its max aperture of f/1.8 allows y...

  • The EF 50mm f/1.8 II has long been due a replacement and the arrival of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has been met with great interest from the Canon faithful. The addition of the STM motor delivers a much quieter performance, and although its not entirely silen...

  • Abstract:  Canon is one of the most trusted names in photography, and countless enthusiasts, family photographers, and pros reach for its cameras to capture the natural world. The company's SLRs can swap lenses, so you can change the angle of view to snap shots of w...

  • Discrétion, poids et encombrement, Focale à tout faire très formatrice, Ouverture maximale de f/1,8, Possibilité à jouer avec la profondeur de champ, Motorisation STM, Peu de distorisions, Qualité optique à f/8
  • Images décevantes aux plus grandes ouvertures, Manque de piqué aux plus grandes ouvertures (jusqu'à f/4), Pas de stabilisation optique, Vignetage assez marqué aux grandes ouvertures
  • Au final, ce 50 mm est un excellent objectif pour s'essayer, à moindres frais, à la focale fixe et aux grandes ouvertures. Il est léger, discret et peu encombrant. C'est probablement un objectif incontournable pour apprendre ! Bien entendu, il faut être i...

  • Se da una parte non sono la persona indicata per un'analisi tecnica, completa, efficace e soprattutto autorevole del nuovo 50mm f/1.8 STM, posso unirmi a chi considera questa soluzione un must-buy per amatori, videomaker e appassionati in cerca di un 50 d...

  • Ga je voor de eerste keer aan de slag met een lens met een vast brandpunt, dan is de aanschaf van de EF 50mm 1.8 STM een ‘no-brainer'. De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding van dit lensje is ons inziens het beste van de gehele line-up van Canon-lenzen. Reportagewe...

  • De EF 50mm 1.4 USM is een klassieker uit 1993 en er zijn in die 22 jaar ontelbaar veel prachtige foto's mee gemaakt. Anno 2015 heeft hij echter wat ons betreft zijn opvolger gevonden in de EF 50mm 1.8 STM. Op bijna alle punten is deze nieuwe lens optisch...

  • Abstract:  Меня приятно удивил рисунок объектива такого я точно не ожидал от недорогого объектива. Высокая резкость на всех значениях диафрагмы но помимо резкости красивый рисунок который мне очень нравится особенно при съёмке портретов. Объектив одинаково хор...
