Super-sharp and inexpensive "nifty fifty"

This is a super-sharp and inexpensive "nifty fifty" which should be in the bag of every Canon RF mirrorless user. I shoot Nikon but when our first grandchild was born, I gave one to our son in law. He swapped it out with his Canon "kit" zoom lens and has never looked back. I wish Canon made more lenses like this one!

A good lens. Just know its limitations.

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.

Nifty Fifty

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.

Outstanding Lens

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.

Greta value and quality

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.

Sharp Inexpensive Prime

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.

Feliz con mi nuevo lente

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.

Cannon lens 50mm with filter kit

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.

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

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!

Worth it !!

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.

Fantastic 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!

Great lens just don't get it wet.

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.

The most brilliant concept ever

By alex_nika_photography

If you know what you are doing, you can buy this lens today, take it with you to capture some event, and return your investment the very same day. 50 mm is the focal length when people start looking good, and f/1.8 is just enough to blur the background (in most cases). F/2.8 is impressive, and this is - two times better and 20 times less expensive. Some strange reviews are complaining that the edges are soft at f/1.8. As a photographer, I know that if I'm using f/1.8 there is something imp...

Let the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens be the quintessential addition to your Canon EOS R series camera kit. This lens is renowned for its remarkable compactness, which is further enhanced by its seamless compatibility with the EOS R camera body, making it an indispensable companion for photographers on the move. Its lightweight design ensures it's always ready for action, whether attached to your camera or tucked away in your bag, prepared to capture life's moments with exceptional quality anytime, anywhere.

Crafted for creativity, this fixed 50mm focal length lens mirrors the perspective of the human eye, offering a natural and compelling representation of your subjects. It's an ideal choice for a diverse array of photography genres, including striking portraits, expansive landscapes, and detailed close-ups. The high-quality construction of the lens ensures that your images will pop with vivid colors and sharp details, thanks to the PMo aspherical lens that effectively suppresses aberrations and specialized coatings that minimize flaring and ghosting.

The large f/1.8 aperture is a gateway to photographic excellence, providing substantial advantages for your craft. It allows for faster shutter speeds in dimly lit environments, reducing camera shake and image noise, while also offering the creative freedom to produce stunning bokeh effects with a soft, blurred background that accentuates your subject.

The RF50mm F1.8 STM lens is equipped with a gear-type stepping motor (STM), delivering smooth and near-silent autofocus performance that is essential for both still photography and video recording. The seamless focus transitions facilitated by the STM are perfect for capturing dynamic scenes and maintaining the professional quality of your footage.

Innovation is at your fingertips with the customizable control ring located on the lens barrel, a standard feature of RF lenses. This intuitive design allows for swift adjustments of various settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation. For added versatility, the control ring can also be converted to a manual focus ring, providing photographers with precise control over their images.

The lens's optimized placement and advanced coatings contribute to outstanding color balance and reduced ghosting and flare, ensuring that your images are not only clear but also exhibit a true-to-life vibrancy that will inspire both you and your audience.

The circular 7-blade aperture of the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens is engineered to produce a pleasing, soft background blur, making your subjects stand out against a beautifully rendered backdrop. This feature is ideal for creating images with a professional and artistic touch.

With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.98 ft. and a maximum magnification of 0.25x, this lens is incredibly versatile, allowing you to capture everything from sweeping vistas to intricate details of smaller subjects with ease and clarity.

The lens's 12-pin communication system ensures rapid data processing, accelerating autofocus and streamlining complex operations for a user experience that is both quick and dependable.

When paired with an EOS R Series camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer, the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens can achieve up to 7 stops of shake correction. This synergy allows for remarkably clear and steady handheld shots, even in challenging low-light conditions, without the need for high ISO settings or a tripod.

Embrace the professional, durable, and versatile nature of the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens, and let it transform your photography with its innovative features. This bundle, complete with a 43mm filter kit, lens cleaner, and cleaning kit, ensures that you have all the essentials to maintain your lens and enhance your shooting experience.
