About this product
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens is a compact and versatile normal-length prime ideal for everyday photography, offering a bright f/1.8 aperture that enhances low-light performance and allows for precise depth-of-field control. Designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, it also functions effectively on APS-C models with an 80mm equivalent focal length. Its optical design features Super Spectra coating to reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring strong contrast and accurate color in backlit or harsh lighting. The lens incorporates a smooth, near-silent STM stepping motor for fast autofocus, supported by advanced algorithms and a high-speed CPU, along with full-time manual focus override.

Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it’s nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though.

Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful 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.

With a 16mm F2.8 lens, you can experiment with enhancing perspectives, capturing starscapes, or with the close focusing distance of 5.11 inches, get up close to your subject while still keeping the background more visible. Video users will find this ultra-wide lens a natural for vlogging, especially with its supremely light weight. With its remarkable combination of optical excellence and refined performance, all in a small package that's easy to bring most anywhere, the RF16mm F2.8 STM is a stellar companion to any EOS R series digital camera.
