Used Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens E

I bought this lens a few months ago refurbished during a big flash sale. After all, every photographer needs at least one standard focal length lens for whatever format size they're shooting on. The lens looked brand new when it arrived. The lens has a metal base, but is plastic for everything else. The lens does a great job of controlling unwanted flares and ghosting. Images are sharp enough when stopped down once or twice, but can be a little bit soft wide open, which is typical. I was able to get some amazing photos after dark on a recent trip to Vegas, but without IS or IBIS, I was definitely pushing this lens to its limits when handholding the camera. The control ring and manual focus requires diving into the menu after moving the switch on the side of the lens, and no lens hood is included. Despite these things, it's still a good lens to add to your camera bag if you can get one for the right price.

A good lens. Just know its limitations.

The autofocus is swift and accurate.  Pictures are clear and bright.  Bokeh is easy to control.  I got this lens as a replacement for my old Minolta 50mm 1.7 from 1986 which I used (manual focus) with an adapter on my Eos R7.

Nifty Fifty

Quality Glass in a small package, technology came a long way. The new RF lenses are amazing; you don't have to buy L to get quality images anymore and I mean Quality. This lens is like having 2 in one, it captures a bit closer in the frame compared to the L and better at close ups also. From around F3 things get super sharper.

Outstanding Lens

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this lens at the price point it is.
The lens feels good and the image quality is great, with good focusing using the R6.

Greta value and quality

Bought my first entry level "real" camera (R100) on a whim during a Black Friday sale with two kit zoom lenses. After getting a chance to use it a bit, and really enjoying it taking it on vacation, I decided to try a few different lenses. This was the first additional lens I bought and first prime lens. 

So far I am really enjoying it. It really make the image quality step up from the basic kit lenses. I bought this as a refurbished unit right from Canon, so it made it even cheaper. The only thing that surprised me was how noticeably loud the auto focus is. Don't really notice it outdoors, but indoor in low light it does hunt around for focus a lot. It is loud enough to pic up on the microphone when recording video. I can feel the motor moving back and forth if I have it on and just walk through my house. I've had to override and focus manually a lot too.

I do also find the 50mm focal length on a crop sensor camera a little too narrow to be the go to, all around length, especially indoors. I also bough a used 30mm prime from a 3rd party company, which is roughly about the 50mm full frame equivalent on a APS-C. That's what I leave on the camera as a default to get a quick pic around my house. I do like the 50mm better for walking around hiking though. It is also very compact to through in a travel bag.

Sharp Inexpensive Prime

will buy it again

I have the canon r6 mark ii and i use this lens anytime i take pictures. I absolutely love this lens and have no complaints!

One of the best!

Estoy realmente feliz con esta compra. Necesitaba un lente de esta calidad y de este tamaño, que me permitiera salir y disfrutar haciendo un tipo de fotografía que disfruto mucho como es la fotografía de calle. 

Tiene un tamaño y un peso ideal, con una maravillosa calidad de imagen. Su luminosidad y desenfoque lo hacen también perfecto para retratos.

No dudo en recomendar este producto.

Feliz con mi nuevo lente

I am new to photography. I purchased 3 lenses plus the one that came with the camera. I am enjoying all my pieces but have a lot of practice to do. This particular lens I am learning is for close portraits and is giving me beautiful portraits. I love all of my products and recommend Adorama highly.

Cannon lens 50mm with filter kit

Really nice lens.  It surprised me.  I normally shoot birds and wildlife, but this Nifty Fifty will work nicely for holiday family photos.  At a $200 price point, everyone should have one.  As usual, Adorama was great!

What's not to like about the Canon RF 50mm!

After using the RF 50mm for about three weeks and shooting over 100 images, I'm going to give the lens 5 stars. This lens produces good quality images and the viewing angle (50mm) is useful for a wide variety of photography. And with a wide aperture of F 1.8, it works well in low lighting situations. At a current price of $200 as of August 2024, I think this is a very useful lens to have.

Worth it !!

I keep this lens on the camera most of the time. It's great for a quick photo. 50mm is a good multi purpose lens

Nice lens

This is a great lens, 50mm is a good focal length in general. This lens focuses well, is lightweight, and has a really nice bokeh. I had a Tamron 24-70 2.8 but I returned it and got this along with the RF 35mm and the RF 70-200mm F4 and I'm glad I did. The 24-70 was very heavy and didn't have the bokeh of the lighter prime lenses. Adorama is great about throwing in accessory kits so make sure you check out the bundle options!

Fantastic lens!

I bought this lens two weeks ago and I am loving it

It has great features

budget 50

good deal

RF 50MM that on Canons EOS R50 1.61 APS-C Crop is more like 80-81 ish. I love 80-85mm range for my photography it feels so good to take photos in that range and most of the time when I look at a scene thats where my brain goes. I love how cheap this lens is you can get it for like a really good price if you look around and on sales. This lens is also not waterproof as it's not an L lens and doesn't get the fancy red ring. Once again as a landscape photographer in the pacific northwest that is a large issue! I feel like a broken record but it really does suck. I do however love how this lens renders and I think it's wonderful the whole thing is great it's just a shame about the Dust and rain issues with canons cheaper gear.

Great lens just don't get it wet.

What a fantastic lens for the money the colors just POP.

Small lens Giant results.

Lens was amazing for its vale, portable, working autofocus, clean look and secure connection to the EOS R6. Great little lens for portraiture and stills.

Great Value

Using this lens w the Canon EOS R100 Mirrorless Camera to shoot flat art, primarily. Photos look beautiful, color and contrast perfect.

love it

Great little lens, fast reliable autofocus and crisp images. Nothing to complain about.

Solid "always on" carry lens.

This little nifty thing is pretty sweet for the price and worth carrying on your adventures.

Solid glass

Love the lens.  Small but packs a punch!  Very fast and love that's it's small.

Fast little lens!

Must have

I am completely satisfied with the item.  It does just what is described on the Amazon site as well as the Canon USA site.  The quality and workmanship is excellent.  See sample photo.

Nifty Fifty for EOS R50, etc.

One of the best lenses I have, cheap and incredible images

Great lenses

It's a nifty fifty and does the job.
Not sure what I did with the filter, but I never use them.
Lens cleaning kit is great, generally kept my lenses clean, but if you are a glasses wearer then it's perfect.

50mm for the Normal Person

Good ol' Nifty 50!

A must have prime lens in your arsenal. Great for portrait, Street photography, city scape and works perfect in low life with a 1.8 aperture. 
It makes you think outside the box and challenges you to get those perfect shots or angles.
