Product Description

For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As a 50mm lens it’s already compact, but as part of the EOS R System, it’s even more compact due to its compatibility with an EOS R camera body, so there’s every reason to keep it attached or put in your bag so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes, from snapshots to portraits to landscapes and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media or just sharing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, coatings to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and circular bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.

This was my first non kit rf lens and it hasn't disappointed so far. Easy to use, just attach and shoot. Let's in plenty of light so I can keep my iso low and shutter high. I am happy with the images I have gotten so far. Easy to pack away and super light so I don't feel like I am breaking my wrist to keep the camera facing up

I am new to photography and wanted a lens that I didn’t have to worry about focus and zoom. This is a great lens for portrait pictures. I mostly use my camera for pictures of my kids/family.

I will eventually upgrade to a zoom lens, but for now this is great. You just have to move closer and further to your subject to get the correct distance for your shot. It is also much cheaper than a zoom lens. Definitely enough to get a great photo!

This lens is awesome. the f1.8 aperture creates a super narrow depth of field and looks great. I mainly use the lens for shooting cars and dogs with my Canon R8, and am really enjoying the lens.

Super sharp pictures with this lens!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

I've been using zoom lenses for many years, but wanted to try a prime lens and after reading so many positives on this lens, I bought it. I shoot with a Canon R6 and you do NOT need an adaptor for this lens to fit the camera and the pictures I've taken with it are super sharp!! Plus, the price is extremely affordable!

The only challenge, where it's a prime lens, you can't zoom in or out, you have to position yourself and the camera a lot more to get the pictures you want. This lens has more of a "zoomed-in" look, so I found that I have to step back further than I'm used to, to get everything in frame. It takes a little getting used to, but the results of this F1.8 lens are very impressive and produce the type of sharpness I've been wanting to get in my photos.

If you've been searching camera lenses, you know that they can be very expensive, so with the low price of this lens, it's worth giving a try.
