    EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

    This compact and lightweight lens delivers excellent image quality with smooth bokeh while at the same time being very inexpensive. Unfortunately, despite the nice metal mount, the overall feel of the lens is somewhat disappointing. This is mainly due to noise produced when focusing. Although the motor of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is quieter than the previous model, it is still noisy compared to all other Canon STM lenses which are practically completely silent when focusing.

    The nifty fifty is a classic lens. This STM version is even better. Add it to a used camera such as a Canon 5D Mark II and you have the perfect starter Camera kit.

    Much better than the previous model

    I got this lens to replace the 50mm f1.8 II. The autofocus system is much quieter and much more precise. It's built quality is also much improved. Love that it has a metal mount again. I don't see much of a difference in image sharpness than the II but the build quality difference made it a worth while upgrade for me. Best lens you can buy for $125

    This is the perfect lens to transition to after purchasing a dslr camera. The stock lens that come with Canon cameras usually don't cut it. But having this 50mm f/1.8stm lens will open up a whole new world of possibilities and really help you see the potential of what a DSLR camera truly can capture.

    If you don't have a prime lens, you need to buy one. This one's affordable and takes great looking photos and video. The low F stop is what you need for those allusive low-light photos and the prime lens is one of the best ways to get that.

    Prime lenses force you to move to get the shot. They sort of force you to be a better photographer. Also this lens rocks for the price. Sometimes you get much more than what you pay for.
