Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens - Black

When compared to the conventional zoom lens that comes with your EOS, the wide f/1.8 aperture lets in more than 8x the quantity of light. This results in crisper photographs with less motion blur and a lower requirement for flash in dimly lit situations, allowing you to capture the ambience of a low-light scene with ease. The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject from a comfortable distance, which makes it an excellent portrait lens. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is an excellent everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera because of its similar viewpoint to the human eye and its compact size. When shooting images, the near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses exceptionally quickly, allowing you to respond quickly to catch fleeting moments. STM makes it easier to make high-quality videos because it provides constant and quiet continuous focusing, ensuring that your movies are smooth and that your soundtracks only record ambient sounds rather than the noise of a focusing motor. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the renowned EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, which was well-known for providing excellent image quality at a low cost. This current model offers the same excellent photo quality as the previous model, but with a faster, near-silent focus motor and a more durable design that belies its price.
