Canon - RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for RF Mount Cameras - Black
Model: 4515C002SKU: 6439620Top comment"Great lense at lower cost...Great camera lenses I’ve been using it with the eos r6 and works great....Happy to add this RF version to my lenses....Great lens for the EOS R. Faster, better focus and conveniently smaller than my EF lense with the RF adapter. "
See all customer reviewsSee all Camera LensesProduct Description
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. 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, landscapes to low-light situations and more. 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.Top comment"Great lense at lower cost...Great camera lenses I’ve been using it with the eos r6 and works great....Happy to add this RF version to my lenses....Great lens for the EOS R.
